Tennis star Serena Williams has married Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian in a celebrity-packed wedding in New Orleans on Thursday, Nov. 17.
The Beauty and the Beast themed wedding at the Contemporary Arts Center was attended by many stars including Kim Kardashian, Beyonce, Jay Z, Vogue editor Anna Wintour, and of course Serena’s sister, Venus Williams.
Family and friends—and the couple’s two-month-old daughter Alexis Olympia Ohanian Jr.—were treated to a five-song set by the band New Edition.
Other guests were actress Eva Longoria and husband Joe Baston, and singer Kelly Rowland.
Vogue magazine has an exclusive on images from the wedding, with cellphones apparently being banned.
A source told The Daily Mail that Serena wore one dress for the ceremony and one for the reception.
A cocktail reception was held in a closed-off street outside the Contemporary Arts Center.
Williams and Ohanian first began dating in 2015, announcing their engagement via Reddit last December.
“I came home. A little late. Someone had a bag packed for me. And a carriage waited. Destination: Rome, To escort me to my very own ‘charming.’ Back to where our stars first collided. And now it was full circle,” Williams wrote in poem form.
