Serena Williams married Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian in New Orleans and the wedding photos are spectacular. The unlikely couple is now married just 18 months after meeting at a hotel restaurant, and the only reason they are husband and wife is because of a rat.
Serena was at a hotel restaurant in Rome while playing in the Italian open and Alexis was also in Italy for a conference. Alexis sat down at a table next to Serena and Serena’s friend Zane tried to chase him away by pointing out that there was a rat under his table. Alexis responded jokingly saying that he was from Brooklyn and rats didn’t bother him.
His response broke the ice and 18 months later, they are married with children. Life is funny like that sometimes. Congrats to Serena and Alexis!
