Having a Ball

Atlanta Braves third baseman Chris Johnson recently tied the knot with beautiful bride Tia Garavuso New Year’s Eve with an epic black-tie ball at the Biltmore Ballrooms. Wedding planner Christopher Confero, who helmed the glam-slam affair, was struck by the humility of the groom and his adoration for his beloved bride. “He treats her like a gentleman should treat the love of his life,” Confero declares. And the groom couldn’t be more pleased with how the planning process went. “It’s been fun just planning a big party where all of your favorite people are going to be,” Johnson reveals. “And I get to marry my best friend.” Here, Johnson covers his bases with JEZ by dishing his wedding-day essentials. @c_johnson28
