Serena Williams was the belle ofthe ball last night (Nov 16) as she married her long-time love Alexis Ohanian during a star-studded ceremony in New Orleans.

Over 200 people descended on Louisiana to watch the couple say "I Do" at their Beauty and the Beast-themed wedding, which reportedly cost $1 million. Famous guests included everyone from Beyoncé and Jay Z to Kim Kardashian, Eva Longoria, tennis starCaroline Wozniacki, Kelly Rowland and Ciara.

Unfortunately, Serena's close pal Meghan Markle missed the celebrations due to her Suits filming schedule. The actress was hard at work on Thursday, wrapping up scenes for the show's seventh, and her final, season.

Serena and Alexis pulled out all the stops to keep their special day private. The streets around the Contemporary Arts Center were closed to the public and guests were asked to adhere to a no cellphone rule. Photographs of the bride are reportedly set to appear in an upcoming issue of Vogue (Anna Wintour was in attendance.)

The Hollywood duo hosted their rehearsal dinner at celebrity chef Emeril Lagasse's restaurant Meril on Wednesday night (Nov 15). Eva was one of the first celebrities to arrive, with her husband José Bastón on her arm.
