Tennis legend Venus Williams and actor, producer, and model Andrea Preti first met in 2024 during Milan Fashion Week—at the Gucci show, Venus remembers tells Vogue, “I was in Lake Como on a sisters’ trip when I got an invite at the last minute and decided to go on a whim, ...‘
It was an intense period, just 10 days later, she was diagnosed with adenomyoma. Six months after that, they got engaged on January 31, 2025, in Tuscany, after Andrea proposed. Their first wedding was on September 18 in Ischia, Italy. She told Vogue, “We had this dream to do our wedding in Italy,” Venus explains. “But we didn’t have enough time to do the paperwork—because I’m a foreigner, it can take about eight months. So we decided to have a second wedding.” This second wedding, held in Palm Beach this weekend before Christmas, was planned by Jennifer Zabinski of JZ Events, who also organized her sister Serena’s 2017 wedding, the week of events started a full six days before the ceremony and featured a jam-packed itinerary—along with lots of windy weather. “They always say weddings go so fast, and they do,” Venus says. “We started on Monday. Serena gave us this gift of a beautiful yacht, and she arranged all the food, everything. We had 10 to 12 of our closest family and friends who were in town on the boat, and we were singing, dancing, gossiping, and just enjoying each other.” |
