Serena Williams Looks Beautiful In Bridesmaid Dress At Best Friend Caroline Wozniacki's Wedding

Jun 25, 2019

Even though they may be competitors on the court, off the court, tennis champs Serena Williams and Caroline Wozniacki are actually close friends. So close, in fact, Serena was one of Caroline’s bridesmaids at her wedding this month.

It was a sports dream wedding as professional tennis player Caroline Wozniacki married former NBA star, David Lee in a beautiful wedding in the Tuscan hills of Italy. 

Although Caroline stunned in an Oscar de la Renta embellished wedding gown with a cathedral length tulle veil, Serena Williams could’ve been mistaken for a goddess as she walked down the aisle as one of Caroline's five bridesmaids. David opted to go with a Tom Ford tuxedo for the vogue wedding. 

Serena Williams was happy to be apart of the ceremony as she shared several photos from the evening on Instagram saying, "I was so happy to see such two amazing people united with love. Here’s to a lifetime together."

Serena had last competed against Caroline in 2014 at the WTA Finals where Serena wiped the court with an epic win. However, whatever happens on the court stays on the court as the two seem closer than ever.

Serena commented on a post Caroline had shared from the wedding saying, "Love you so much! Mrs. Lee." According to Vogue, David and Caroline first met in 2015 when they both met at dinner after David's former NBA team, The Golden State Warriors had played the Miami Heat. 

In a speech given at their wedding, David said to Caroline, 

“The dedication you have to tennis, your daily routine, everything you do to be the champion that you are, it’s the most amazing thing I’ve ever seen. Even above that is the class and the principles that you live by, and that means more than any match you could ever win, any tournament you could ever win, and it’s for that reason that young girls look up to you, the whole world looks up to you for what you do and what you stand for, and why I look up to you so much. As a man, you’ve made me a better person. I love you with all of my heart and promise to treat you like the most special woman now and forever.”

We're not crying, you're crying.
