Serena Williams announced her engagement to Alexis Ohanian in a way they could only do it: Reddit. The co-founder of the social media platform and the tennis player made it official in Rome.
Ohanian surprised Serena with a trip to the Italian city, the place where they first met. They’ve been linked together since the fall of 2015.
He made it official on Facebook.
Alexis posted Williams’ Reddit announcement on the wall of his Facebook page account writing: “she said yes”.
That’s how you know she’s a keeper.
As told in Ohanian’s post, the tennis star asked him to do a drawing of them in Reddit’s style, but the lovely gesture doesn’t stop there, Serena described the proposal in a poetic way. “I came home. A little late. Someone had a bag packed for me. And a carriage awaited. Destination: Rome. To escort me to my very own ‘charming.’ Back to where our stars first collided. And now it was full circle.At the same table, we first met by chance. This time he made it not by chance. But by choice. Down on one knee. He said 4 words. And I said yes.”
Social media love.
The co-founder of Reddit responded Serena’s post with a comment where he wrote: “And you made me the happiest man on the planet.”
Only a huge announcement could make them go public.
The relationship of Williams, 35 and Ohanian, 33 hasn’t been in the spotlight, but the tennis star shares some pictures of them on social media every once in a while.
Williams has a lot to do in 2017.
Not only she has a wedding to plan, but a tournament to get ready for. Serena needs just one more grand slam title to claim the record for a women’s player in the post-1969 Open Era of the pro game. She arrived at Austrailia with sister Venus to get ready for the game, she’s the obvious pick for made of honor. What do you think?
Congratulations Serena!
