Making a good yearly schedule is difficult for any tennis star. Traveling demands are through the roof and Keys has added wedding plans and house renovations to her list of priorities.

She initially did not want to have a lavish wedding with her fiancé. Keys aimed to hold a highly cliche wedding, which a couple usually has when they’re heavily intoxicated. However, her husband denied it outright.

Keys’ husband wants a more conventional wedding

Holding a wedding with all the bells and whistles is not everyone’s cup of tea, and Keys is one of them. In the same Tennis Channel interview, she said that she wanted to have a Las Vegas wedding, but her husband decided against it.

I am as involved as I need to be. Our wedding planner is absolutely amazing, brilliant. I love her dearly. She basically gives me three options and says, which one do you like? And I said, perfect. I, I was never really someone who dreamed of a wedding. I always said I could get married in Vegas with an Elvis impersonator there, Bjorn said. That was a hard no. So now we’re planning a wedding.”
