Serena Williams and her spouse, Alexis Ohanian, have unveiled the initial snapshots from their extravagant $1 million wedding ceremony.
The couple exchanged vows at the Contemporary Arts Center in New Orleans, with a captivating image showing them sharing a passionate kiss following the ceremony, as posted by Alexis.
The 36-year-old tennis star looked resplendent in her exquisite £2.6 million Sarah Burton gown for Alexander McQueen, featuring an expansive skirt and adorned with sparkling XIV Karats jewelry. Meanwhile, Alexis complemented her attire with a velvet jacket and grey trousers by Armani.
Expressing his admiration, Alexis captioned the image of their tender embrace with heartfelt words, “You are the greatest of all time, not just in sport–I’m talking about as a mother and as a wife.” Serena revealed to Vogue her ᴜnexpected choice of the ball gown silhouette by Sarah Burton, confessing, “I loved the idea of doing a really spectacular ball gown, and it has turned out to be such an incredibly special piece.” Following the nuptials, Serena changed into a second dress—a white, beaded, and feathered creation by Versace.
