May 24, 2018

A wedding scene from Serena Williams’ HBO docuseries “Being Serena” is not only a tearful heart-tugger, but it gives us an inside look with a who’s who of guests including her homie from the Beyhive, Beyoncé.

The Queen Bey is all up in there and she let her super-long ponytail down to enjoy Williams as she walks down the aisle and weds Reddit co-Founder Alexis Ohanian.

Williams and Bey are pretty tight and icons in their own right. Bey invited Williams on the set to take part in a cameo dancing alongside her in the ‘Sorry‘ music video during the release of her visual album “Lemonade.” So it’s no surprise that Beyoncé came to give Williams blessings on her wedding day.

What a day it was! There’s even a real merry-go-round at the upscale and whimsical wedding. Bey can even be seen riding surfboard styleon one of the horses.

A tearful Williams, now mom to baby girl Alexis Jr. said during her vows to Ohanian:

“I know everyone says they marry their best friend, but you’re not only my best friend, you make me my best me.”

The docuseries gives us a deeper understanding of what Williams’ been going through and provides viewers unprecedented access to Williams during her pregnancy, new motherhood and marriage, while documenting her journey back to supremacy on the court,” HBO said in a statement.

“Viewers will experience her life from every angle as the intimate first-person show delves into her landmark career, family life and expanding role as a businesswoman and investor in the worlds of tech, fashion, fitness and philanthropy.”

There’s much to talk about in Serena’s life like when the tennis champion, who holds multiple titles including Grand Slams and Olympic medals, shared scary postpartum moments that many Black women related to. Williams has said publicly that she almost died while giving birth to her daughter.

“HBO is honored to work with Serena Williams on such a personal project,” says Peter Nelson, executive vice president, HBO Sports. “Even though she has been in the spotlight since her teenage years, Serena continues to capture the imagination. With our partners at IMG, we look forward to giving viewers a revealing, behind-the- scenes portrait of her life on and off the court.”
