A South Carolina bride said she fears her wedding day will be interrupted by the swarm of journalists covering what some have called the trial of the century in the state.
Last January, 28-year-old Ashlyn DeLong and 33-year-old her fiancé Josh booked a space in the Walterboro Wildlife Center for their 205-person wedding. Last week, she discovered the Colleton County Courthouse — located across the street from the venue— would be holding the highly publicized double homicide trial of former lawyer Alex Murdaugh,"I did know about the courthouse being across the street but we have never had a trial like this before," DeLong told The Daily Beast.
DeLong said she later found out the venue for her upcoming romantic day is also being used by journalists from across country as a media center while covering the high-profile trial, per The Daily Beast. "It was one of my top choices. It was more convenient due to the weather and location in town," she told The Daily Beast.brutally murdering his wife Maggie and son Paul at their South Carolina residenceDeLong isn't the only one who's had her big day disrupted by the media frenzy. The trial kicked off Wednesday, and its coverage overlapped with another couple's wedding at the event hall on Thursday.
Grooms further added that"nobody attending any of these events should see reporters at all." The journalists were reportedly moved to a separate part of the building with a different entrance than the event hall spaces.
