Pictures and Fun Facts from Serena Williams' wedding to Alexis Ohanian

I tweeted earlier today that if you read the story of how Alexis Ohanian and Serena Williams first met, you would definitely thank fate and fairy-tales.
If you have never read it, read it here.
To summarise, she went down for breakfast at a hotel but when breakfast had closed so she sat by the pool with her team. Alexis had also come downstairs and decided to go to the pool as well. When he sat close to them, her friends tried to get rid of him by telling him there was a rat on the table. On the day they met, she had not known of Reddit, a company he co-founded, and he was not a fan of Tennis.

Imagine that.

Anyways, this beautiful couple got married on Thursday the 17th of November and there begins our fun facts from their day.

- They chose the date, November 17th because that is the date Alexis' mum passed on.

- Serena wore 3 dresses. The first one was by Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen and the other two were by Versace.

- NIKE customised a pair of sneakers for her to wear which she did after the vows and first wedding dance.

- Guests at the star-studded ceremony include Ciara, Kelly Rowland and her husband, Beyonce, Jay Z and Beyonce's mum, Tina Knowles, Lala Anthony and Eva Longoria and her husband.

- The decor was done by Preston Bailey. ('Funner' fact- My sister adores Preston Bailey)

- The couple did a choreography for their first dance (they danced to 'Tale as Old as Time') and also surprised guests when they danced with the band New Edition.

- Alexis had one last surprise for Serena- a carousel. She reportedly squealed in joy when she saw it.

4 of my favorite looks to the Beyonce's Soul Train-themed party

Yesterday, September 5th, Beyonce set out to celebrate her 35th birthday in groovy style. And she chose one of the best themes ever: Soul Train. And when you think of Soul Train, what comes to mind? That's right Afros, bare midriffs, boot cut trousers, Soul music and all of that 70s goodness. While Blue Ivy stole the show, when she shouted: "Happy Birthday, Mummy" and then stole a bite of the birthday cake, the star studded party had some great looks that are worth looking at again. Here are 5 of my favorite looks, based on who kept to the theme and looked like a star doing it!




 1. Alicia Keys

Alicia Keys and Swizz Beat giving us couple style goals as they got the theme to the T! Alicia's boot cut jeans paired perfected with this blouse that screams 70s might just bring 70s back! And o, the bandanna just completes the look nicely!

2. Kelly Rowland

 O okay Kelly; we see you all 70s glam and sexy you! Kelly Rowland came as a Disco girl in a shimmering gold jumpsuit with a neckline that plunged to her midriff and a gold chain belt. Don't try this at home kids, especially if your work out game is not on point! 4. Michelle Williams Speaking of work out game...

3. Michelle Williams everyone!

Michelle looks ready to par-tay in a silver and white attire that does wonders for her glowing complexion. You go girl!

 4. Usher

 Usher went all out. Looked a little like a Aladdin, Yet, the Arabian prince look was good on him. Plus the jade green turban and necklace is a testament to his good taste. Now what was your favorite look?
