Tennis icon Venus Williams and actor-producer Andrea Preti are officially married, and they didn’t settle for just one celebration. The couple, who got engaged in January, hosted two weddings: an intimate ceremony in Italy, then a multi-day celebration in Florida.
The first wedding chapter took place in Ischia. In September, the couple shared moments on the lush Italian island, known for its sun-soaked cliffs and old-world glamour. But with Williams being a non-Italian citizen and the paperwork taking time, the couple brought the celebration stateside for part two.
A five-day celebration in Palm Beach brought together close friends and family, giving everyone space to truly be present. The festivities began Tuesday with a bridal shower, followed by a romantic dinner in Miami on Wednesday. Thursday brought a playful, athletic twist: a full sports day complete with volleyball, tennis, dodgeball, pickleball, and even wheelbarrow races. Friday marked the couple's courthouse ceremony, and Saturday delivered the long-awaited aisle moment.
For the ceremony, Venus wore a breathtaking Georges Hobeika gown, while Andrea chose a tailored Dolce & Gabbana suit. After reception and dancing, guests were whisked away by bus to an after-party that carried the celebration late into the night. Congratulations to the newlyweds!
