Here comes the bride.
Venus Williams showed her excitement for her upcoming nuptials to fiancé Andrea Preti by wearing all-white during an outing in Italy on Thursday.
The tennis superstar, 45, was spotted rocking a white dress and sneakers while riding around in a golf cart through the village of Sant’Angelo.
She also wore a custom white sun hat with the words “SIG.RA PRETI” written over it. In Italian, “sig.ra” is short for signora, which translates to “Mrs.”
Eyewitnesses also reported seeing other members of the wedding party wearing “Team Groom” and “Team Bride” T-shirts, per People.
Williams and Preti, 37, plan to say “I do” soon in an intimate ceremony held at a cliffside lighthouse on the Italian island of Ischia, which is located near the Amalfi Coast, according to Hola!.
The couple is reportedly set to then treat their guests to a reception at Lisola, an exclusive waterfront restaurant, where they’ll be invited to dine on a Naples-inspired feast.
A rep for Williams did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.
Williams only recently confirmed her engagement to the Danish-born actor and producer in July after months of speculation surrounding their relationship.
“My fiancé is here, and he really encouraged me to keep playing,” the pro athlete said during a post-match interview on July 22.
The pair was first romantically linked in July 2024 when they were spotted boating on the Amalfi Coast together, according to People. However, they have kept their romance mostly out of the spotlight since.
Williams’ sister, Serena Williams, recently shared that she is dealing with “so much planning,” hinting she is playing a big role in her siblings’ wedding celebrations.
“She wanted me to help her with some dresses, or was it hairstyles?” the tennis champ told People this month. “She wanted literally 14 hairstyles — and she was like, ‘What do you think?’ So she sent me her options and within 30 minutes I had them not only done, but in a PDF file what hairstyle looked best on everyone.”
Serena, 43, concluded, “I’m the person that arranges things, I’m like the planner. I plan everything like the event. I’m the person that gets things done.”
