“The attire at Glory was not as I had imagined,” she informed individuals.
Was I wrong as a boy? Maybe I’m thinking of wearing suit trousers. I’m not someone who would really want to be a traditional bride – as an amazing athlete, this is not what people would expect of me.
Allen commented that ultimately, Glory was extremely traditional and solely dedicated to fulfilling Brittney’s desires – much like the majority of other brides.
“This is why I adore bridal – it keeps you on your toes! In the end, Glory appeared magnificent.”
Johnson ultimately chose a long, strapless champagne gown that was created by Matthew Christopher.
According to PEOPLE, it showcased a silk chiffon and lace floral overlay with contouring bands and a petite train.
