These days, even in conservative Arizona, same-sex weddings are a dime a dozen. But this one was different.
This was a marriage between a gay woman and a straight woman.
This was a wedding that two weeks earlier many weren’t sure was going to happen.
The courtship and wedding plans of Brittney Griner and Glory Johnson, marquee players in the Women’s National Basketball Association, have been complicated.
Ms. Griner and Ms. Johnson have also been entertaining and largely public, including their active presence on Twitter and Instagram, their January appearance on the TLC show “Say Yes to the Dress: Atlanta,” and the mug shots that accompanied articles about their April 22 arrests on domestic violence charges after a fight at their new home west of Phoenix.
