Kim Kardashian, Beyonce and Many More Attend Serena Williams’s Wedding (Photos)Serena Williams married Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian on Thursday at a ceremony in New Orleans. A whole block around the venue was closed to traffic during the event, which the Daily Mail Newspaper reported cost $1 million and among some of the A-listers who attended the wedding were names like Beyonce, Kim Kardashian and Eva Longoria.
Williams detailed her big day for Vogue in a story published Friday.
“Alexis really wanted to do New Orleans. It’s his favorite city besides Brooklyn,” Williams said. “It’s got a heavy European influence; it’s fun and has amazing food. He just loves the vibe. The venue—the Contemporary Arts Center of New Orleans—was a decision we both made. Painting and art is something I’m really passionate about, so it just felt natural and different to do it at a contemporary art museum.”
The wedding date held special importance for both as it was Ohanian’s late mother’s birthday. “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,” Williams told Vogue.
“I wanted the whole thing to be as nontraditional as possible,” Williams said. “We did sofas instead of chairs, with everything facing the aisle instead of the altar.”
