Serena Williams couldn’t contain her excitement at her sister Venus Williams’ wedding and surprised her with the most expensive, stunning wedding gift.
According to Fashion, the newlyweds were gifted a yacht on which some of the wedding guests also stayed.
Venus said, “Serena gave us a beautiful yacht as a gift, and she arranged all the food, everything for the wedding.”
Following the six-day wedding event of her sister’s wedding to Italian actor Andrea Preti in Palm Beach, she paid a heartfelt tribute to Venus as her sister and ‘built-in best friend’.
Twenty-three-time Grand Slam champion Serena shared her own Instagram post in honor of her sister’s wedding, writing on Instagram:
“My sister’s goalkeeper. Venus, where do I even start? From the backyard courts to the biggest stages in the world, you have 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… stable, powerful and full of promise.”
“You have been my built-in best friend, my protector, my teacher, and my reminder to always walk with purpose. Seeing you so happy, so loved, so radiant… it means the world to me.” she added.
“To love, to work together, to laugh and to choose each other every day for a lifetime. I couldn’t be prouder to stand by your side, not just today, but always,” said Serena.
Former world No. 1 and seven-time Grand Slam singles champion Venus officially married earlier this month, following an Italian celebration in September 2025.
The seven-time Grand Slam champion wore a Morilee wedding dress on her big day, while Preti’s wedding suit was designed by Dolce & Gabbana.
Tennis star Venus was accompanied by her mother, Oracene Price, and sisters Serena, Lyndrea and Isha Price.
Williams met Preti in 2024 at a fashion show in Milan.
The bride expressed a moment of gratitude and happiness by sharing an emotional thought with her husband, Andrea Preti.
