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 think she looks lovely. She clearly put a lot of thought into her wedding and it seems so unkind to critise a bride for how she looks on her wedding day especially when she has only just had a baby!

Serena gets a lot of mean comments on her apprance. A male althlete would not get these comments. Because she is black and female she gets a lot of stick .

She is one of the greatest tennis players of all time and there a few sports people ( male or female) who have achieved what she has. If you think you look nicer in a frock than her she probably couldn't give a monkeys.

No one would start a thread saying Andy Murray looked crap in his wedding photos.

Never has the statement ‘Money can’t buy class’ been more true. I bet Anna Wintour was grimacing!

I bet Anna Wintour was grimacing!

She'd be a hypocrite if she did, considering she's resided in the backsides of the Kardashian family for the last 5+ years.

As a wedding photographer myself I think they're really nice I'm not keen on the dress though

i dont know if this helps but my boibs are probs about the same size/bigger than Serena's and i can tell you that wedding dresses are not designed to hold cleavage. Unless you wear collar to ankle you always look like everything is busting out - especially if you've just had a wee baby. Speaking as a member of the big boobed siaterhood it really irritates me when people tell me there is roo much flesh on show. That's becauae there is more flesh to show and just because i look like I'm trying to steal a couple of basketballs doesnt mean I should dress like a nun. Anyway. for what it's worth i think that the photographer has not got a great eye- bad angles and some of the photos are squint. I think it would look v different if you were there. I think she looks like the champ she is. it is amazing to see big boobed women as successful athletes- that is a surprisingly rare and inspiring thing to someone who was told that they had no chance of being a swimmer, model, or dancer becauae they were the wrong shape. Serena- You are doing amazing sweetie, thank you for everything!

Lovely wedding, v loved up couple and a gorgeous baby. Blessings for their life together.

Money can't buy class! What is class-less about a very nice, loving, hard-working, high achieving couple getting married with family and friends there to support them?

Is it that she doesn't fit the "fairy princess" view of brides? Is it that she and several of her bridesmaids/guests are bigger than society deems appropriate for women (google the way the Williams sisters have been treated by the media in this regard - I can see why she wouldn't care, she has already had it all said about her) Is it that they dared to celebrate her amazing, historical achievements in sports? A woman! Celebrating her achievements - how classless. Would you think Andy whatshisname was classless if he had little tennis rackets somewhere in his wedding?

Seriously, this thread ...

Nightmares well said!

What are larger women meant to do!? Covering big busts up to the chin can be very unflattering on a large bust.

Pallisers you said it! They're not skinny and white with small chests and blonde hair so certain elements of society think they can sneer and don't see their beauty because it's not societies "ideal".

Fuck em'!

Strapless dresses suit very few people (including skinny, white blondes with flat chests ) but they really don't flatter larger busted women at all. There are so many beautiful dresses out there, particularly when you have a $2m budget, I just hope that it looked better in person than the photos they have released suggest.

But regardless of the dress, she looks beautiful and radiant and happy

She looks fucking amazing! Gorgeous woman glowing on her wedding day.

I love her. I have a tennis playing daughter and Serena is a huge inspiration. She looks beautiful and happy.

I can't rip someone else's wedding pictures to shreds, I'm sure mine wouldn't stand up to close scrutiny.

She looks really happy.

I can't believe she spent $2.6 miĺlion on a dress which really doesn't suit her. If she wanted to show boobage she could have gone for a deep V and a straight skirt would have flattered her superb physique much more.
Venus looks stunning.

It's pretty obvious from about the third photo in that the theme of the wedding was fashion/catwalk and all the theatre that goes with it. It's 2017 and they're doing something a bit different and more modern.

Oh this thread is horrid! Well, in fairness, so is SW.

I can't believe a rape apologist get's so much fawning on MN.

I don't think the photos are badly taken. Just that the venue is rather bare, and the harsh white lighting isn't helping.
The simple white drapes around the walls and plain backdrop for the group photos look very austere. I think flowers everywhere would have been able to transform the place.

I don't rate the dress much, but I don't tend to like big puffy white ones, its just personal taste. Mine was really..quite plain. Many would say boring, but it was what I wanted.

Besides this, she looks extremely happy and thats what matters really.

Some utter cuntery on this thread. I agree with @VladmirsPoutine. The micro aggressions are out in force. I’m just waiting for someone to call her or her wedding ghetto or express surprise that a rich white man married her. We will have a full house then.

I thought she looked great -
i never show anyone my wedding pics as it was the tail end of the 80s in a cheap dress from a sale and i looked shit to be honest! ( was never a girlie girl or well groomed!) I would destroy them if i could!! lol.

Some of you sound like catty, jealous bitches.

She'd an amazing and successful sport woman. Rich. Happily married with a new baby. Do you think she gives a fuck what you think of her wedding photos?

I doubt she does, but the first dress is still awful. Fact, not jealousy.

I wouldn't wear that if you paid me two million dollars.

It's not fact though is it? It's an opinion.

Are you saying all black women have big breasts, lifeisasongworthsinging?

That's a bit of a generalisation, isn't it? One might almost say racist.
