Serena Williams Gushes Over Sister Venus Williams After Her Wedding

Serena Williams is celebrating her sister Venus Williams following her wedding to Andrea Preti, sharing a heartfelt tribute that highlights their deep bond.

On Tuesday, December 23, the tennis legend took to Instagram to post photos from Venus’s special day, accompanied by an emotional message. Serena referred to Venus as her “sister’s keeper,” reflecting on their journey together from backyard tennis courts to the world’s biggest stages. She praised Venus for always leading with grace, strength, and a heart bigger than any trophy.

Serena wrote that watching Venus step into this new chapter of her life, surrounded by love, felt like witnessing a sunrise—steady, powerful, and full of promise. She described Venus as her built-in best friend, protector, teacher, and constant reminder to always walk with purpose. “Seeing you this happy, this loved, this radiant means everything to me,” Serena shared, adding that she is proud to stand beside her sister not just on her wedding day, but always.

According to Vogue, Venus Williams and Andrea Preti held two wedding ceremonies. Their first wedding took place on September 18 in Italy. However, due to legal paperwork requirements for foreign nationals, the couple decided to plan a second celebration.

The second wedding was held in Palm Beach, Florida, on December 19 and 20, following nearly a week of festivities. Venus revealed that Serena gifted them a beautiful yacht experience, organizing food and details for an intimate gathering of close family and friends. The celebrations also included a bridal shower, a pool party, and a sports day.

The couple, who met in 2024 during Milan Fashion Week, first had a courthouse wedding on Friday, followed by their main wedding ceremony the next day. Venus described the occasion as “the happiest, most beautiful, and sweetest day.”
