The WNBA’s Brittney Griner and Glory Johnson married in an outdoor wedding May 8, 2015, on a Phoenix mountaintop, according to People magazine.
The couple had 75 guests witness them wed beneath an archway at the Pointe Hilton Tapatio Cliffs Resort. Johnson carried a bouquet of white hydrangea, white and coral roses, and peach hypericum berries, and Griner wore a boutonniere of coral roses and peach hypericum berries to match, which played into their theme of “desert elegance” in the city where Griner plays center for the three-time WNBA champion Phoenix Mercury.
Their first dance was to Ed Sheeran’s “Thinking Out Loud” (video of song below).
People reports that “Johnson, a forward with the Tulsa Shock, wore a full-length, strapless champagne gown with a small train by Matthew Christopher that she selected from Bridals by Lori in Atlanta on an episode of TLC’s Say Yes to the Dress. The couple was engaged last August.
After the ceremony, they celebrated with a sit-down dinner on the resort’s Falls Terrace, followed by a tiered cake dessert that combined Griner’s favorite, white cake, with Johnson’s favorite, red velvet.”
