Lindsey Trist Brower and Richard Bradley Beard Jr. met through mutual friends at a dinner party in Oxford, Miss., while both were attending Ole Miss. After meeting Lindsey, Bradley asked her to dine at L&M’s Kitchen. Their first date was all it took, and they stayed together throughout college.
When Bradley decided he wanted to marry Lindsey, he planned the perfect proposal in New York City. Unfortunately due to weather complications, all inbound flights were cancelled and the proposal was slightly changed. Bradley then collaborated with Lindsey’s father, George, and Ti Martin to pull off the proposal at Commander’s Palace. The couple went to Lindsey’s great-aunt and uncle’s house, Ella and Dottie Brennan, for a pre-dinner cocktail and then walked to Commander’s to enjoy a romantic dinner. The two were taken to a private dining room, where Bradley proposed among roses, candles and champagne. After the proposal, Lindsey and Bradley went to the Garden Room to enjoy dinner. Little did Lindsey know that her parents and family friends were waiting to have a celebratory drink to congratulate the couple!
After the wedding, Lindsey and Bradley went to the One & Only Ocean Club in the Bahamas for seven days. The two reside in Houston, Texas, where Bradley is in the oil and gas industry.
