Newly signed Atlanta Falcons cornerback Keith Taylor recently tied the knot with his long-time girlfriend, Jaeden Hooker, in a lovely ceremony held on March 21 in Paradise Valley, Arizona. The couple’s wedding was a “timeless” affair, attended by 140 close family and friends, including many of Keith’s former teammates from the Kansas City Chiefs.
Reflecting on their special day, Jaeden expressed how fulfilling it was to see their years of dreaming about the wedding come true. “It was amazing to celebrate with everyone we love,” she shared. The couple has been together for over six years, with Keith Taylor now embracing his new chapter with the Atlanta Falcons after a trade.
The wedding festivities commenced with an intimate family dinner on March 19, followed by a bridal shower and a welcome party the next day, all designed to keep the celebration going and to include their loved ones. Jaeden highlighted the importance of having everyone together during this special weekend, especially given the challenges of balancing NFL schedules with quality time.
Jaeden was stunning in a custom bridal gown, paired beautifully with elegant bridal shoes as she walked down the aisle to a romantic song. The couple exchanged heartfelt vows against a backdrop of picturesque mountains, and the ceremony was officiated by Keith’s father, who is a pastor.
After the ceremony, the guests enjoyed a black-and-white themed reception. Jaeden made sure to include her beloved black lab, Cane, as part of the decor, showcasing a personal touch. The couple opted for a casual, family dining experience with a delicious menu featuring braised short ribs and lemon chicken. Instead of a traditional wedding cake, they celebrated with a cookie and ice cream truck.
As the evening unfolded, Jaeden changed into a custom dress for the after-party, and the couple shared their first dance to a special song that holds memories from when they first met. They expressed their excitement about beginning their lives together, looking forward to eventually expanding their family.
With plans for a honeymoon in the Caribbean and a move to Atlanta, the journey ahead is filled with new opportunities for growth and happiness. The couple is enthusiastic about their future and the adventures that await them.
