Despite being a very special occasion, the couple chose to celebrate in a modest yet romantic manner. Ohanian decorated their home in red roses and had arranged for a quite, low-key dinner with his wife. They also had some surprise visitors during the celebration, in her sister Venus and mother, Oracene Price.

Further, other than her late pet, she owns a Jack Russell Terrier and a Yorkshire terrier. She has named the former Jackie after the famous singer Mariah Carey’s dog and the latter Christopher “Chip” Rafael Nadal after the Spanish tennis legend. Chip has his own Instagram account with over 13000 followers and sometimes accompanies Williams on her tours. He, after Lauerlei’s death, traveled alongside her to one of her practice session before US Open.
