Shirking a popular wedding tradition led toMadison LeCroy’s favorite memory from day she said “I do” to forever withBrett Randle.
“I went against the rule of having a first look,” theSouthern Charmstar, 32, tells PEOPLE. “I wanted him to have that initial reaction of seeing me walk down the aisle. And that was probably my favorite moment. Just seeing his face and how happy he was meant everything to me.”
LeCroy announcedher engagement to 37-year-old Randle, who she met at a bar in Arizona, in October 2021. They tied the knotat a Charleston, South Carolina, courthousein November and followed up the courthouse wedding with anintimate ceremony in Mexico later that month.
The Bravo star remembers the moment Randle saw her inher white Reem Acra dress. “His eyes were a little watery, but thank goodness he wasn’t crying, because I would’ve lost it,” she says. “I’ve never seen him cry.”
As LeCroy and Randle approach their first anniversary, the mom of 10-year-old son Hudson has started thinking about how they’ll celebrate.
“We [will] schedule that between work — it’s been kind of wild,” LeCroy says. “It may not be as lavish as the world tour we went on forour honeymoon, but we’ll do something.”

“We kept it really small, no bridesmaids or groomsmen, just our nearest and dearest," she said of the nuptial, which took place at sunset in front of nearly 40 of their closest friends and family, including her son Hudson and LeCroy’s dad, who walked her down the aisle.
LeCroy described the day as “super chill” and “relaxed.”
“We didn’t want to have some elaborate wedding here in Charleston with 300 people. That just wasn’t our vibe,” she explained. “And if it wasn’t for Hudson, we probably would have just eloped and [not done] a wedding.”
