We all got a chance to watch this love story unfold, starting with the engagement last summer all the way to the hunt for the perfect gown on “Say Yes To The Dress”. Finally, the moment we’ve all been waiting for arrived this weekend when Mercury’s Brittney Griner and Shock’s Glory Johnson tied the knot!
The couple exchanged vows at a picturesque mountaintop resort in Phoenix, AZ on Friday afternoon. According to Jeff Truesdell of People Magazine:
As about 75 guests looked on, the brides, both 24, were married beneath an archway at the Pointe Hilton Tapatio Cliffs Resort. Bouquets and arrangements of white hydrangea, white and coral roses, and peach hypericum berries helped establish their theme of “desert elegance” in the city where Griner plays center for the three-time WNBA champion Phoenix Mercury.
To say the couple looked stunning is an understatement! Brittney donned a sleek, fitted beige suite, while Glory looked radiant in the Matthew Christopher gown that she selected on “Say Yes To The Dress”. Among the guests of family and friends were newly engaged couple Angel McCoughtry of the Dream and her fiance Brande Elise.
There is no denying their love and connection, which can be felt through the photos we’ve seen. Despite the unexpected events that took place recently, we’re glad to see them cap this journey to matrimony off in a beautiful way. Sending all of our love and well wishes to the happy couple! #BlackLoveLives
