In a dream wedding in the desert, who said “I do”?
On March 21, Keith Taylor, a cornerback for the Atlanta Falcons, and Jaeden Hooker, his longtime partner, exchanged vows at El Chorro in Paradise Valley, Arizona.
The couple, who have been together since 2018, called the occasion a “fantasy moment” that they had dreamed about for years.
Hooker, who made spending time with loved ones a priority despite Taylor’s hectic NFL schedule, exclaimed, “Seeing it all come together felt surreal.”
Which NFL players attended the celebration as guests?
Taylor’s Kansas City Chiefs friends Trent McDuffie and Deon Bush were among the more than 140 guests who applauded the couple.
Players from the Saints, Texans, Lions, and other teams joined in the fun as rivals became allies.
“The combination of rivals and teammates giggling together? “Unadulterated magic,” Hooker said.
How did they start the celebrations for the wedding?
The mood was set with an all-white welcome party on Wednesday, a bridal shower and Top Golf lunch on Thursday, and a family dinner on Wednesday.
Hooker clarified, “We wanted more than just one day.” “These moments are scarce in NFL life, so we savored every second.”
During the ceremony, what was the center of attention?
Under Arizona’s Camelback Mountain, Hooker dazzled in her custom Casablanca gown and Jimmy Choo heels.
Taylor’s pastor father officiated as they blended handwritten vows with traditional promises. “We wanted our words to reflect us,” Hooker said.
Why did cookies outshine the wedding cake?
The newlyweds skipped a towering dessert for a cozy ice cream truck and cookie bar.
“We’re not cake people,” Hooker laughed. Post-reception, she swapped her gown for a friend-designed dress, dancing to Chris Brown’s “Yo (Excuse Me Miss)”—a college-era favorite.
What’s next for the Taylors?
After a Saint Lucia honeymoon, they’re Atlanta-bound for Keith’s Falcons chapter.
“We’re ready to grow our family—dogs first, then kids!” Hooker teased.
“No matter where football takes us, our joy stays constant.”
