Serena Williams And Alexis Ohanian Are Married
The tennis pro and her Reddit co-founder fiancé have tied the knot!
Entertainment Tonight reports that Serena Williams married Alexis Ohanian at the Contemporary Arts Center in New Orleans on Thursday, Nov. 16, 2017.
According to the publication's source, the ceremony followed a magical Beauty and the Beast theme. The couple's closest friends and family attended, with guests including the likes of Beyoncé, Eva Longoria, Ciara, La La Anthony, Kelly Rowland, Venus Williams, and, of course, the lovebirds' adorable 2-month-old daughter, Alexis Olympia Ohanian Jr.
Guests "were expected to dress to the theme," the insider said, and were greeted with the song "Be Our Guest" and a round of drinks upon arrival.
The twosome kept the festivities going throughout the week, including their rehearsal dinner the night before, which was held at Meril restaurant. Their guests were also treated to "a full-blown brunch at the Ace Hotel with a DJ, games and recovery bar" on Friday morning.
As Nicki Swift previously reported, further details on the couple's big day are being kept under wraps for now. However, the star athlete reportedly signed a deal with Vogue, presumably to release exclusive photos from her highly anticipated wedding.
Williams, 36, and Ohanian, 34, began dating in 2015 before announcing their engagement in December 2016. The cute pair welcomed their daughter on Sept. 1, 2017, after the new mom accidentally revealed her pregnancy in April. Williams celebrated her bachelorette party on Nov. 3 in New York City. The night reportedly began at the Baccarat Hotel, before the bride-to-be and her friends traveled around the city in a party bus, drinking and dancing, and later scheduled spa treatments.
Congratulations to the happy couple! While we wait to hear more about their amazing wedding, read up on everything you need to know about Williams' husband.
