Tennis pro Serena Williams celebrated her two-year wedding anniversary to Alexis Ohanian by jokingly thanking the entrepreneur for “putting up with me.”

On Saturday morning, Williams shared an Instagram photo from her 2017 Louisiana wedding. “2 years and counting....@alexisohanian is still [putting] up with me,” the 38-year-old wrote.

Williams and Ohanian wed in a spectacular ceremony at the Contemporary Arts Center in New Orleans on November 16, two years after meeting at a hotel pool in Rome where Williams stayed for the Italian Open and the Reddit co-founder was a conference speaker. According to Vogue, the future spouses missed the hotel’s famous buffet, so they ate breakfast outside, joking and making small talk until Williams asked him to pull up a seat.

The pair got engaged at the exact spot where they first met. “I came home one day to find my bags already packed for me, and I had absolutely no idea where I was going until I got on the flight,” Williams told Vogue. “Alexis flew me out to Rome, back to the exact table where we’d met. We were both really nervous but also excited to take this huge step. It was such a beautiful moment.”

There was no other place for Williams to break the news than on Reddit.

Ohanian also posted a photo of him and his love, writing, “Celebrating 2 years with my ride or die @serenawilliams always ready for the next black tie event ... Or Netflix & Chill night in.”

For the wedding, the tennis star’s strapless wedding gown was Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen and she capped off the evening by wearing two different Versace dresses, reported E! News. Williams also reportedly wore jewelry worth $3.5 million dollars. And the reported guest list was just as shiny as Williams: Kim Kardashian, Beyonce and her mom Tina Knowles, and Eva Longoria all showed up.

On September 1, 2017, Williams and Ohanian welcomed daughter Alexis Olympia Ohanian Jr, who not only graces her parents’ Instagram accounts, but has her own verified page (controlled by mom and dad) with 600K followers.

Two years in, and the couple seems happy, no doubt thanks to Ohanian’s romantic side — in 2018, he flew his wife to Italy, simply because she wanted a good meal. “She had a craving, so I delivered her to Venice,” Ohanian told Glamour. And he purchased four billboards in Palm Springs, Calif. to remind her that she was a GMOAT, “Greatest Momma of All Time.”
