Also present is a veritable group of A-listers, most of which are close friends with the tennis superstar. The star-studded guest list includes Beyoncé, Kim Kardashian, Ciara, La La Anthony, and of course, her sister Venus Williams, who also served as her Maid of Honor.
The lavish celebration was held at the Contemporary Performing Arts Center, and it even had a costume theme — "Beauty and the Beast." The event made for some festive photos for the social media fans.
Someone was made even more conspicuous by his absence, and it's none other than Kim Kardashian's husband Kanye West. Fans found it odd that Kim is coming to the wedding without a partner, and a source helpfully offered to explain his absence.
"Kanye still has a lot of unresolved issues with Beyoncé and her husband," the insider claimed. "So, Kanye told Kim that he was going to sit this one out as to prevent causing a scene and risk stealing attention away from Serena's big day, which Kim agreed was the smart decision," the source added.
Serena Williams and Alex Ohanian officially became a couple in 2014 before they became engaged in 2016. The couple had their first child together, Alexis Olympia Ohanian Jr., on Sep. 1, 2017.
