Inside the VERY extravagant wedding of son of disgraced legal heir Alex Murdaugh... as he asks for cash to renovate his new house

The sole surviving son of the shamed legal figure Alex Murdaugh has gotten married in a grand celebration at a former hunting property in South Carolina. He has requested donations to help pay for his new home as a wedding present.

At the event, Buster Murdaugh, aged 32, exchanged vows with his girlfriend of many years, Brooklynn White, aged 29. The lavish ceremony took place in the midst of loved ones in the heart of the Lowcountry on Saturday, May 3rd.

The legal dynasty heir opted for a monochrome outfit, sporting a white blazer and shirt with black pants and a bow tie.

During the occasion, a large ‘RMA’ was prominently displayed on his cummerbund, representing the initials of his full name, Richard Alexander Murdaugh, which he shares with his deceased father.

His bride, lawyer Brooklynn, looked radiant in a white off-the-shoulder gown with a white and blue floral bouquet.

When the night fell, the bride and groom and their guests donned white cowboy hats.

The couple chose the exclusive Coosaw Point – a luxury riverside community – for their nuptials, where a 50-person wedding will set a couple back around $26,000 for the venue costs alone.

Based on Lady’s Island – just minutes from downtown Beaufort and Hilton Head – the venue’s website boasts amazing river views, vast green spaces and plenty of southern charm.

The couple opted for an outdoor ceremony on the lawns, followed by a reception in a huge tent decorated with beautiful blue and white florals and green tablecloths.

It’s not clear how much the extravagant ceremony set the couple back but DailyMail.com has learned that mandatory costs include a $10,000 venue rental fee, $2,500 wedding coordinator fee and starting price of around $100 per person for food and drinks. The venue also charges for staffing and rental of items such as seating and linen. 

Photos of the wedding show the couple also splashed out on multiple other vendors including two live bands, a wedding planner, a photographer, a florist who provided a breathtaking floral arch and a baker who created an elegant four-tier white wedding cake.

Notably absent from the nuptials were Buster’s immediate family members after his father Alex notoriously murdered his mom Maggie, 52, and younger brother Paul, 24, on the wealthy family’s sprawling estate in the summer of 2021.

It was June 7, 2021 when the mother and son were found shot dead by the dog kennels on the 18-acre estate at Moselle.

Alex called 911 claiming he had come home to find their bloodied bodies.

But his lies quickly unraveled.

Three months later, the powerful attorney orchestrated a botched murder-for-hire plot on himself, so that Buster would get a life insurance windfall.

Days later, he checked into rehab for a decades-long opioid addiction.

It later emerged that, days before the murders, he had been exposed for stealing millions of dollars from his law firm clients.

Alex is now behind bars serving life in prison for the brutal murders – as well as for a slew of financial crimes.

He continues to claim his innocence in his family’s murders. 

It was not immediately clear which of Buster’s surviving family members attended his happy day.

But Buster’s new wife doesn’t appear to have been put off by the cursed Murdaugh family name.

Her social media shows she has already proudly taken her new husband’s name, becoming Brooklynn White Murdaugh.

As part of their celebrations, the couple listed three wedding registries, asking their guests for contributions to their ‘House Project Fund,’ as well as a selection of homeware items to furnish it.

None of the guests have yet opted to splurge $999.95 on a wanted Dyson Robot vacuum or a $69 bottle of ‘Glam wash’ laundry detergent.

The newlyweds also appear to share the Murdaugh family’s love of four-legged friends, with several dog-themed items making it onto the registries.

Among the items the couple asked for from their guests was a gold-colored, hand gilded dog head coat hook retailing for $95.

A patterned wooden box with a gold dog perched on top will set one generous guest back $648.

While a bronze golden retriever lamp retailing for $415 also made the list.

Famously, it was the Murdaughs’ dogs who helped nail Alex for the murders of his wife and son.

At his murder trial, a damning cellphone video of a dog was played to the court.

The video had been taken by Paul to send to his friend minutes before he was shot dead.

In the background, Alex’s distinctive voice was heard yelling at the family’s beloved dog Bubba who had just caught a chicken.

Unbeknown to Alex, the bombshell video proved he had lied about his alibi for that night – and crucially placed him at the crime scene at the time of the murders.

Despite the evidence, Buster stood by his father during his murder trial, attending court for every day of his six-week case.

Brooklynn was also there every day by her long-term partner’s side.

When Buster took the stand to testify in his father’s defense, he revealed that he was with Brooklynn when his dad called to tell him his mom and brother were dead.

Brooklynn grew up in Rock Hill, South Carolina, before attending the University of Alabama where she earned a bachelor’s degree in political science, her LinkedIn shows.

She then returned to her home state to study at University of South Carolina School of Law. 

She got her bar admission in 2022 and now works as an associate at Lyles & Associates law firm.

There, she specializes in construction litigation, insurance litigation, insurance coverage litigation and estate planning, according to the company website.

It is not clear where Brooklynn and Buster met but he also attended the University of South Carolina School of Law – before he was kicked out for plagiarism. 

Buster comes from a long line of prominent lawyers with the Murdaugh family wielding power over the Lowcountry justice system for years.

For three generations, a Murdaugh held the powerful position as solicitor in the 14th Judicial Circuit solicitor’s office.

Buster’s dad Alex carried on the legal tradition working for the local prosecutor’s office and at his law firm PMPED. 

But the family empire came crashing down following the brutal murders of Maggie and Paul.

The slayings also shone a light on other scandals connected to the powerful family.

In 2018 – four years before the murders – the family housekeeper Gloria Satterfield died in a sudden ‘trip and fall’ at the Moselle estate. Alex then stole $4m from her sons in a wrongful death lawsuit settlement.

That same year, Paul was charged with causing a boat crash in which his friend Mallory Beach was killed. 

And Buster’s name was also linked to the death of 19-year-old Stephen Smith.

In July 2015, Smith was found dead from blunt force trauma to the head on a road in Hampton County.

His death was ruled a hit-and-run at the time but Smith’s mom Sandy has never accepted this conclusion.

There was no debris or skid marks pointing to a collision and she has long suspected Smith was killed as a hate crime because he was gay.

In a bombshell 2016 letter to the FBI, Sandy begged the bureau to look into Buster as a suspect in his murder.

The two young men had been classmates at school and rumors had long swirled through the Lowcountry that they had been in a relationship. 

Just two weeks after Maggie and Paul’s murders, the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division opened a new investigation into Smith’s death.

His death was later ruled a homicide.

Buster has never been charged in connection to the case.  

He finally broke his silence over the allegations in an interview for a FOX Nation documentary in the fall of 2023, blasting the rumors and denying any involvement in his murder. 

He also denied ever having ‘anything to do with [Smith] on a physical level in any regard.’

The interview also marked his first and only comments to date – other than on the witness stand – about his mom and brother’s murders at his dad’s hands. 

Buster insisted – many months on from Alex’s conviction – that he still believed his dad was innocent.

It is unclear if the father and son are still in contact today – or if Murdaugh, who owes millions of dollars to his financial crime victims, picked out a gift for the new bride and groom.
