Tennis goddess, Serena Williams, has married her tech-geek fiancee, Alexis Ohanian, in a lavish ceremony just 11 weeks after giving birth.
Ohanian is the co-founder of American social news generator, web content rating, and discussion website, Reddit.
The couple met at a hotel in Rome – and while he had booked a room to attend a conference, she was staying there to play in the Italian Open.
As he was not a tennis fan, it took Mr Ohanian a little while to realise exactly who she was having breakfast next to, but the pair hit it off quickly.
He proposed 18 months later in the same hotel, at the same table where they had met.
They now have a daughter called Alexis Jr, whose own Instagram has more than 105,000 followers.
The couple tied the knots at the Contemporary Arts Centre in New Orleans, according to a story and photos posted on Vogue’s website on Friday night.
Vogue said the celebrity guests at Thursday’s ceremony included Beyonce and Kim Kardashian West.
Sky Sports claim Serena had three dresses for the occasion – the first being a £2.6m Alexander McQueen princes’ dress, with a beaded and feathered Versace dress for the reception.
When she stepped onto the dancefloor it was in a short, fitted Versace dress – perfect for dancing to Tale As Old As Time, one of her favourite Disney songs from Beauty And The Beast.
They wrote their own vows, and Mr Ohanian posted them on Instagram alongside a photo of their day. He said: “You are the greatest of all time, not just in sport–I’m talking about as a mother and as a wife.
“I am so excited to write so many more chapters of our fairy tale together.”
The 36-year-old Williams has won 23 Grand Slam singles titles, a record for the professional era.
