When the greatest athlete of all time exchanges wedding vows with someone who is popularly known as the 'Mayor Of The Internet', that day creates a niche for itself in the history books. Serena Williams and Alexis Ohanian had a fairy-tale wedding in New Orleans at the Contemporary Arts Center. The venue was decorated with French-ball theme, and Beauty and the Beast style decor complete with a gold arch of flowers at the end of the aisle, long tables covered in lamé fabric, and lots of surprises.
The wedding date also had a sanctity attached to it, as it was also Alexis Ohanian's mother's birthday, who passed away nine years ago. Besides that, the guest list included the likes of Kim Kardashian, Beyonce, Meghan Markle etc. Alexis Ohanian Jr was very much a part of her parent's wedding and well, she too managed to steal the limelight. The couple with their little princess looked absolutely breathtaking together!
While Vogue exclusively covered the entire wedding, here are our favorite pictures from the spectacular wedding ceremony that took place on 16th November 2017.
The bride wore three attires for the wedding.
The first one being a Sarah Burton with Alexander McQueen gown, in which she walked down the aisle and exchanged her wedding vows! This is a dream-like shot of Serena Williams minutes before she walked the aisle.

Donatella Versace told Vogue-
They “worked nonstop to make sure the tiniest details were perfectly taken care of, for a total of 1,500 hours.”
