International Tennis star, Serena Williams tied the knot with
Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian, in front of their closest family and friends.
It was a star-studded event which included Serena’s sister Venus Williams and
her beau, Cuban model boyfriend Elio Pis Ciara and her husband,
Russell Wilson, La La Anthony and a lot more.
Also present at the ceremony was Serena and Alexis’ 2 months old daughter, Alexis
Olympia Ohanian Jr. Just last week, Serena had a bachelorette party in New
York City at the Baccarat Hotel
& Residences for a weekend of five-star spa treatments, trapezing, tea brunches, dinner and dancing.
Wednesday evening, the couple enjoyed a star-studded rehearsal
dinner at Emeril Lagasse’s Meril restaurant, with about 100 guests,
including stars Colton Haynes, Eva Longoria and husband José Antonio Bastón as
well as Cynthia Erivo. And the insider also shares that Cafe Du Monde provided
their famous beignets for
dessert.
Prior to the rehearsal dinner Wednesday, Williams’ Galia
Lahav wedding gown was spotted arriving to her in New Orleans along with a
masseuse and nail polishes. On Thursday before the ceremony, flowers and
alcohol were spotted arriving at the venue.
The couple met in May 2015 when Alexis sat himself down at a table
near Serena and her friends at a hotel in Rome. They tried to get Alexis to
leave by telling him there was a rat under his chair, but the charming tech
mogul remained unfazed, and Serena asked him to join the group for breakfast.
One month later, Williams invited
Ohanian to watch her
play at the French Open. By April 2016, he told Vanity
Fair in their joint cover story that he knew
Serena was “the one.”
“I felt like a door had been opened to a person who made
me want to be my best self,” he gushed. “I find myself just wanting to be
better by simply being around her because of the standard she holds.”
Wishing Mr. and Mrs. Ohanian a happy married life.
Congratulations. (Photo: ABC News)
