Tennis superstar Serena Williams took to Reddit to announce that she is engaged to marry the site’s co-founder, Alexis Ohanian. The post includes a drawing by Ohanian, which you can see below, along with a poem by Williams telling the story of the proposal:
I came home
A little late
Someone had a bag packed for me
And a carriage awaited
Destination: Rome
To escort me to my very own “charming”
Back to where our stars first collided
And now it was full circle
At the same table we first met by chance
This time he made it not by chance
But by choice
Down on one knee
He said 4 words
And
r/isaidyes
Ohanian’s drawing includes the Reddit mascot Snoo, dressed as Ohanian, proposing to a Snoo version of Williams. It also includes Ohanian’s Reddit handle Kn0thing.
The New York Times notes that Williams and Ohanian began dating last fall, and had known each other already for some time before they started dating. The paper cites Williams’ spokeswoman Kelly Bush Novak saying a wedding date has not yet been set.
Williams is 35 and Ohanian is 33.
