The chosen theme for the wedding was "Beauty and the Beast" and the venue was the New Orleans museum, according to various US entertainment media. Tennis star Serena Williams married her partner and father of her daughter, Alexis Ohanian, yesterday.
In New Orleans, people were only talking about it despite the secrecy surrounding the event, where a discreet ceremony was expected alongside dozens of celebrities.
Despite the media frenzy, Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian and the best tennis player of the past decade had barely given any details about their wedding. People magazine and the Daily Mail claim that about 250 guests will attend the ceremony at the New Orleans Center for Contemporary Arts.
Construction workers were in the venue when Ohanian appeared, wearing a shirt and shorts with dress shoes in hand.
Singer Beyoncé and her husband Jay Z, as well as actress Eva Longoria, were among the guests.
The cost of the ceremony is estimated to be over a million dollars, according to the Daily Mail, and guests have been asked not to bring their cell phones due to an exclusivity agreement for photos signed with Vogue magazine.
Serena Williams, 36, has won 23 Grand Slam tournaments while her partner Alexis Ohanian, 34, is the co-founder of Reddit, a platform where users post content and links to external pages that may be interesting.
