Tennis legend Serena Williams and Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian have tied the knot at a star-studded bash in the United States.

Singer Beyonce, reality star Kim Kardashian and Desperate Housewives actress Eva Longoria were among the A-listers at Thursday’s nuptials, which had a Beauty And The Beast theme.

The couple married just 11 weeks after becoming first-time parents to their daughter, Alexis Olympia.

Around 200 guests attended the wedding, at the Contempora­ry Arts Centre in New Orleans.

Guests also included singers Kelly Rowland and Ciara, tennis player Caroline Wozniacki and Vogue’s editor-in-chief Anna Wintour, with the magazine believed to have an exclusive on images from the event.

It said tennis star Ms Williams wore two dresses for the wedding, and that guests left with recreation­s of her Grand Slam trophies as wedding favours.

Entertainm­ent Tonight said that the lavish wedding had a special Beauty And The Beast Theme, with guests greeted with a song from the Disney movie.

Ms Williams’ coach Patrick Mouratoglo­u wished her a “happy wedding day” and a “full life of happiness” on Instagram.

Ms Williams announced her engagement last year, with a poem posted on Reddit.
