Fashion magazine Vogue has published exclusive photos from the wedding of Tennis superstar Serena Williams and American businessman of Armenian origin Alexis Ohanian, who is the co-founder of Reddit social network.
To note Williams and Ohanian have been in a relationship since late 2015.
The magazine writes the pair chose November 16 as their wedding date in memory of Alexis’s mother, who passed away nine years ago. “It is her birthday, and we wanted her to be represented at the wedding,” says Serena. “Obviously, we wish that she could be here for this, but choosing her birthday as our wedding date was a nice way of making sure she’s still involved and made us feel more connected to her on our day.”
Among high-profile guests of the ceremony have been Beyoncé and her mother, Tina Knowles, Kelly Rowland, Kim Kardashian West, Anna Wintour; Ciara, and La La Anthony.
