Per sources for The Daily Mail, the couple’s wedding—held 11 weeks after Williams gave birth to her first child, daughter Alexis Olympia—was themed after the story of “Beauty and the Beast.” At the reception, guests were seated at tables named after Williams’s 12 grand slam titles, with favors recreating the trophies she received for each win. ’70s R&B group, New Edition, was also on hand to play a five-song set for dancing attendees.
