On Tuesday, the bridal shower was held at their home. The event followed a boudoir theme, with Williams wearing a Kim Kassas dress paired with David Yurman jewelry. Later that evening, they gathered for dinner before the night ended with dancing.

Wednesday’s itinerary included a daytime pool party after which the group headed to Miami for a dinner at Sopra, the members’ club above Forte dei Marmi, where the menu had Italian cuisine curated by Preti.

Thursday was reserved for sports, with activities like tennis, volleyball, pickleball, and wheelbarrow races. According to Venus, she didn’t want to lead any team; she just wanted to be in the same team as her husband.

On Friday morning, the couple held a courthouse ceremony in Florida. Williams wore a custom Morilee New York dress for the early-morning appointment, but was seen in a short skirt and top with a coordinating headpiece before she left to avoid drawing attention to herself.

For the main ceremony later that day, Venus wore a custom Georges Hobeika gown. The sheer dress featured a shimmering finish that complemented the outdoor location. The couple exchanged their vows before making their way back down the aisle to Stevie Wonder’s Signed, Sealed, Delivered. After entering the reception, they shared their first dance to a song chosen by Preti. The evening continued with dinner and dancing before they all left for the after-party.
