Atlanta Falcons quarterback Keith Taylor tied the knot with his longtime girlfriend, Jaeden Hooker, in a stunning black and white desert wedding at El Chorro in Paradise Valley, Arizona, on March 21st. The couple, who had been together for over six years, celebrated their union amidst an intimate gathering of 140 guests, including many of Taylor’s former teammates from the Kansas City Chiefs.
Hooker described the wedding as a “dream come true,” expressing her joy in seeing their long-discussed plans finally come to fruition. “All of our friends and family that came out made it their mission to make sure we had the best weekend ever,” she told People magazine.
The festivities kicked off on March 19th with a family dinner and continued with a bridal shower and a groom’s lunch at Top Golf. An all-white welcome party hosted by the groom’s family allowed guests to mingle and celebrate together before the big day. “With the NFL schedule, it’s really hard to find a time where you get to see everyone you love all at once, and that made this weekend extra special,” Hooker shared.
On the wedding day, Hooker walked down the aisle in a custom Casablanca bridal dress designed by McKenzie Jade, accompanied by the sounds of Lana Del Rey’s “Video Games.” The couple exchanged handwritten vows under the breathtaking backdrop of Camelback and Mummy Mountains, with Taylor’s father officiating the ceremony.
The reception featured a striking black and white theme with green accents, complete with a checkered dance floor—a must-have for Hooker. The couple’s first dance was set to “Find Someone Like You” by Snoh Aalegra, while they concluded the night with Chris Brown’s “Yo (Excuse Me Miss),” a song that holds special meaning for them since their meeting at a Halloween party in college in 2018.
Following their wedding, Taylor and Hooker plan to honeymoon in St. Lucia before relocating to Atlanta, where Taylor will adjust to his new team. Excited about their future, Hooker expressed their desire to grow their family, stating, “Our life together remains constant and filled with a drive to always find joy.”
