A load of celebrity (and non celebrity!) types would probably opt to get away from it all for a few days sans the kids... but Ms Williams and her hubbie, Alexis Ohanian, brought along their adorable two-month old daughter with them.
After the glamour of her big day (THREE bespoke designer dresses is pretty glamorous) the tennis pro opted to travel in a comfy grey tracksuits, black cap, and runners (a woman after our own hearts, so). She and her 34-year-old husband took a private jet to their destination - believed to be an uber-private island resort in the Caribbean.
Alexis, an internet entrepreneur, had worn Armani on Thursday for the nuptials, but packing off on honeymoon he was also pretty casual: a black t-shirt and jeans with a red and gold Redskins cap.
He's evidently completely smitten with Serena too; during his wedding vows he gushed:
"You are the greatest of all time, not just in sport. I’m talking about as a mother and as a wife. I am so excited to write so many more chapters of our fairy tale together. "And my whole life I didn’t even realize it, but I was waiting for this moment. "And everything that I have done, everything that I am so proud of in my career, and in my life, for the last 34 years, pales in comparison to what we’re doing today. And I am so grateful, and I am so in love."
The wedding had a Beauty And The Beast French ball theme, and the four long tables for guests were named after Grand Slam tournaments (Serena has won all four on a record 39 separate occasions).
Serena and Alexis had chosen their wedding date in order to honour the groom's mother - who died nine years ago; November 16 is her birthday. Guests in attendance included Kim Kardashian, Beyoncé Knowles, Eva Longoria, Kelly Rowland, Ciara, Caroline Wozniacki, and Anna Wintour.
The couple met by chance in Rome - the same city where they got engaged 18 months later.
