Brittney Griner and Glory Johnson are married,
two weeks after their domestic violence arrest.
The 24-year-old WNBA stars wed on Friday at
the Pointe Hilton Tapatio Cliffs Resort in Phoenix. Johnston posted a wedding
photo of herself and her partner on Saturday on her Instagram page.
She wore a strapless champagne wedding gown
with crystal detailing, a sweetheart neckline and long train, paired with what
appeared to be a cathedral-length veil, crystal headband and large necklace
while Griner sported a tan suit, light button-down dress shirt and white tennis
shoes.
The bride had picked out her dress at Bridals
by Lori's in Atlanta, as seen on an episode of TLC's Say Yes to the Dress: Atlanta.
The wedding took place on Friday in front of
some 75 guests and the newlyweds' first dance was Ed Sheeran's
"Thinking Out Loud," People magazine reported.
The wedding comes two weeks after both women
were arrested on suspicion of assault and disorderly conduct
after police responded to a domestic dispute at their new home outside of
Phoenix. The two suffered minor injuries. The WNBA launched an investigation.
Griner pleaded pleaded guilty to
disorderly conduct under a plea deal and is set to attend 26 weeks of domestic
violence counseling and upon completion all charges will be dismissed, USA Today reported on April 28, adding that she
voluntarily began counseling the day after her arrest and is cooperating with
the WNBA's investigation.
"It is never OK for an argument to turn
physical," the newspaper quoted Griner as saying in a statement released
through her attorney. "This will never happen again, and I take my
relationship and my responsibility as a role model seriously. I am committed to
making positive changes and I plan to use what I have learned to set a good
example and help make a difference in the world around me."
