Venus Williams Marries Andrea Preti in 5-Day Palm Beach Wedding
It's love-all for Serena Williams.
The tennis legend had nothing but adoring words for her older sister Venus Williams, who married actor Andrea Preti in a five-day wedding celebration in Florida earlier this month.
"My sister’s keeper. Venus, where do I even begin?" Serena wrote on Instagram Dec. 23, sharing photos of herself and the bride from the nuptials. "From the backyard courts to the biggest stages in the world, you’ve always led with grace, strength, and a heart bigger than any trophy. Watching you step into this next chapter surrounded by love felt like watching the sun rise…steady, powerful, and full of promise."
She continued, "You’ve been my built-in best friend, my protector, my teacher, and my reminder to always walk in purpose. Seeing you this happy, this loved, this radiant… it means everything to me."
Toasting "to love, to partnership, to laughter, and to a lifetime of choosing each other every single day," the 44-year-old added, "I couldn’t be prouder to stand beside you, not just today, but always."
Indeed, Serena—who has been married to Alexis Ohanian since 2017—was right by the 45-year-old's side as she exchanged vows with Andrea, 37. In fact, she threw the happy couple a yacht party during the multi-day affair in Palm Beach, Fla.

"We started on Monday. Serena gave us this gift of a beautiful yacht, and she arranged all the food, everything," Venus told Vogue in an interview published Dec. 23. "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."
The bash was followed by a boudoir-inspired bridal shower complete with a Beyoncé-themed lip sync battle, a daytime pool party, an intimate family dinner and a sports day before Venus and Andrea tied the knot in a courthouse ceremony.
"I can’t describe how beautiful, calm, sacred, exciting, and exalting it was,” said Venus, who had privately married Andrea in Italy Sept. 18. "It was just a dream."
