It is yet to be seen what else will dominate the headlines
come Thursday as American tennis star and multiple Grand Slam winner Serena
Williams ties the knot with Reddit co-founder fiancé Alexis Ohanian.
The event is said to be costing more than $1 million to
stage and is being organized by celebrity wedding planner Preston Bailey. Attendees
to the mother of all weddings will not be allowed to use their phones for
photographs as exclusive contract has been sealed with Vogue editior Anna
Wintour to run the photos.
The wedding is coming just 11 weeks after the 36 year old
gave birth to their daughter Alexis Olympia Ohanian Jr. The wedding is being
held amid such secrecy that the guests have been informed only of the city
where it will be held but not yet the venue.
An insider however
informed DailyMail.com that the couple, who met in 2015, will tie the knot in front
of some of America’s biggest names at the Contemporary Arts Center in New
Orleans, including Beyoncé, Jay Z and Kris Jenner. Among the guests could be
Prince Harry’s girlfriend, Meghan Markle. The American actress, who finishes
shooting legal drama Suits this week for the final time, has been a friend of
Serena’s since 2014 and gushed earlier this year: ‘We are both the same age,
have a penchant for hot sauces, and adore fashion, but what connects us more
than those things is perhaps our belief in exceeding expectations – our endless
ambition.’
The star-studded
wedding guest list includes Desperate Housewives actress Eva Longoria and the
pop singers Kelly Rowland and Ciara. The
source says: ‘They have hired the best of the best and can’t wait to get married
in The Big Easy. It’s a special city for Serena and somewhere she has always
loved. ‘Serena and Alexis chose the Contemporary Arts Center because of its
incredible architecture and history. They have instructed Preston to fill the
hall with thousands of dollars worth of crystals and flowers. The hall will be
totally transformed.’
