Alex Murdaugh’s surviving eldest son, Buster Murdaugh, married his fiancée, Brooklynn White, in a lavish Lowcountry ceremony on May 3.
The couple married at Coosaw Point, a former private hunting preserve-turned event venue, in Beaufort, South Carolina — where Alex Murdaugh was tried for financial crimes following his conviction in the 2021 murders of his younger son, Paul, and wife, Maggie.
Photos posted to Instagram show what appeared to be a picturesque ceremony held beneath a sailcloth tent overlooking marshland on the Coosaw Point property. Tables were covered in green and white cloths, and flower arrangements included blue and white hydrangeas and other greenery.
White wore an off-the-shoulder dress with her hair in an elegant updo, while Buster wore a white jacket, black bow tie and black dress pants with a monogrammed belt.

“I do not believe it was fair,” he told MacCallum of his father’s murder trial. “I was there for six weeks studying it, and I think it was a tilted table from the beginning. And I think, unfortunately, a lot of the jurors felt that way prior to when they had to deliberate. It was predetermined in their minds, prior to when they ever heard any shred of evidence that was given in that room.”
