PHOENIX (AP) — WNBA players Brittney Griner and Glory Johnson have married, less than a month after they were arrested on domestic violence-related charges at their home in the Phoenix suburb of Goodyear.
Johnson posted a photo of the wedding on Instagram, and People magazine showed photographs and an account of the event online. The magazine said 75 people attended the wedding at a Phoenix on Friday.
After they were arrested, Griner entered into a diversion agreement in municipal court, and all charges will be dismissed if she completes 26 weeks of domestic violence counseling.

“It is never OK for an argument to turn physical,” she said in a statement at the time. “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.”
Griner plays for the WNBA champion Phoenix Mercury, while Johnson plays for the Tulsa Shock.
