Serena Williams went to the extreme for her sister following her wedding ceremony with Andrea Preti.
Serena Williams does not do small gestures. Never has. So when her sister Venus Williams married Italian partner Andrea Preti in Florida, Serena didn’t grab a card and a candle. She reportedly gifted Venus a yacht. An actual floating boat with engines. And probably staff, because when you’re Serena Williams, congratulations come with horsepower.
The happy couple held six days of luxurious dinners and celebrations in Palm Beach, Florida with their closest friends and family. And Williams told Vogue that her sister Serena even gifted her a yacht which hosted some of their wedding guests.
‘Serena gave us this gift of a beautiful yacht, and she arranged all the food, everything,’ Williams said of how the romantic week got underway.
‘We had 10 to 12 of our closest family and friends who were in town on the boat, and we were singing, dancing, gossiping, and just enjoying each other.’
Williams, 45, and the 37-year-old Preti chose to hold a second wedding because paperwork to confirm their first marriage in Italy in September can take up to eight months to become official.
Fans joked that this is the most Serena thing ever. She competes hard, loves harder, and gives gifts that could double as small businesses. This is sibling rivalry at its peak. Venus tied the knot, Serena said, “Cool. Here’s a boat.”
In the end, it’s a wholesome flex. Two sisters, two legends, one marriage and one yacht. Somewhere in Florida, that boat is sitting peacefully, knowing it belongs to tennis royalty.
Congratulations to Venus and Andrea. And congratulations to the rest of us for witnessing rich people love in its purest form. Sometimes, love doesn’t come with flowers. Sometimes, it comes with an anchor.
