To think that if I was Serena Williams, I'd be a bit disappointed in my wedding photos?

From the description, it's clear she went all out, which is fair enough when you've earned millions through your own hard work. And it all sounds incredible, but the pictures in Vogue don't really do it justice, in my opinion. I've seen much cheaper weddings look better (just in terms of framing and how you take the shot etc). Unless she kept all the best pictures private? Or she had multiple photographers and this is just one view?

AIBU?

I agree, but I think it's probably either the fault of the photographer or having restrictions on what/who they could photgraph. There doesn't appear to many guests yet there are loads of place settings so maybe there's a deal with some other magazine or they asked for guests not to be included

I’d never invite Beyonce to my wedding, how could you not be upstaged?!

lookingforthecorkscrew · 21/11/2017 12:04

Also, is that a catwalk, at a wedding?!

ShirleyPhallus · 21/11/2017 12:09

The top of that dress is awful, makes her boobs look all squishy and unsupported

The lighting for the event is wrong too, way too bright

I love Venus’s dress though. Would be a gorgeous wedding dress in itself

TossDaily · 21/11/2017 12:09

Er...the dress she got married in looks a bit uncomfortable around the boob area. Just looking at it is making me wince.

The one she's wearing in the later photos fits her much better.

Her baby is GORGEOUS!!

UrsulaPandress · 21/11/2017 12:09

The whole thing looked tacky to my limited eyes. A Beauty and the Beast theme? Why?

Still whatever floats their boat.

SparklingSnowfall · 21/11/2017 12:09

Not great photos but it does look beautiful, and very very expensive even if it does look like it was held in a warehouse. Lots of pictures of Beyoncé 🙄 not sure Kim K made much of an effort with her dress! It seems very much like it was Serena’s wedding and all about her but I do very much like the overall look, there’s an event planner somewhere who has made $$$$$$$$$$

TossDaily · 21/11/2017 12:10

Oh hang on, is that her sister in the other pic?

TossDaily · 21/11/2017 12:10

No it's her. The second dress is way better.

CheapSausagesAndSpam · 21/11/2017 12:12

Oh stop it. She looked stunning.

Tinycitrus · 21/11/2017 12:12

I tho k she looked lovely

Confused by the catwalk tho

MarshaBradyo · 21/11/2017 12:12

Very plain photos so it looks staged rather than magical

Agree on top of dress, looks so uncomfortable

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 21/11/2017 12:13

She looks beautiful and happy but her tits look awful in that dress.

Hippadippadation · 21/11/2017 12:14

Her dress didn't fit properly!! And why were the bridesmaids wearing wedding dresses? I'm so confused. Maybe I'm behind the times!

TossDaily · 21/11/2017 12:15

The next wedding on the Vogue site is beautiful. Apart from the bridesmaids' dresses, which look like she's flanked by 1950s auxiliary nurses.

The venues though...

ShirleyPhallus · 21/11/2017 12:16

Her boobs also look awful in the second dress.

HateSummer · 21/11/2017 12:16

She’s just given birth so her boobs are probably changing size and shape hence the weird top.

I think everything looks nice. The only down point is Kim Karcrashian. She seems to know exactly when she’s being photographed and looking into the camera every time 🙄.

CheapSausagesAndSpam · 21/11/2017 12:17

Oh this thread is horrid!

OldPony · 21/11/2017 12:19

Yeah, just stop it! She's an athlete not a celebrity no-one

expatmigrant · 21/11/2017 12:21

Ditto cheapsausages

UrsulaPandress · 21/11/2017 12:22

Hear they come .......

Nicknacky · 21/11/2017 12:23

Her photos are lovely and she looks so happy and natural.

How utterly horribly that people are commenting on her breasts. She is a bride and a new mum and has married. Leave her alone.

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 21/11/2017 12:23

It's not horrid to dislike a person's choice of outfit. We're not saying it to her face. (Although perhaps someone could have advised her in real life to go for something with a little more coverage and support).

I think it's fine to have an opinion on a dress. Lighten up.

myrtleWilson · 21/11/2017 12:24

Toss those bridesmaid dresses - it was like Call the Midwife trying to be casual...!

I liked Serena's dancing trainers -they were fab and she looks so happy.

Is a three dress wedding a thing now??

VladmirsPoutine · 21/11/2017 12:26

I think the whole thing looks great. 2 individuals that actually made it through genuine talent and hard work. What do you think would look better?
