Tennis Stars Katie Boulter and Alex De Minaur Marry in Two Ceremonies

other · 2026-07-22

Professional tennis players Katie Boulter and Alex de Minaur celebrated their marriage with two weddings: an intimate ceremony in Woodhouse, Leicestershire, and a three-day celebration in Tuscany. The couple, who met at an Adelaide airport at 6 a.m. and began dating after a text exchange, got engaged on the Alicante coastline in 2024. The Woodhouse ceremony took place in a church near Boulter's childhood home, with her grandfather, who has dementia, waiting at the altar. Boulter wore a Vivienne Westwood dress, while de Minaur chose a Ralph Lauren tuxedo. The Tuscan celebration at Borgo Santo Pietro, an 800-year-old estate, included a rehearsal dinner in the kitchen gardens, a ceremony among ruins, and a reception with fireworks set to Coldplay's "A Sky Full of Stars." Boulter's wedding dress, designed by Caroline Castigliano, incorporated lace from her late grandmother's dress. Bridesmaids wore custom emerald silk gowns by Grace Lane. De Minaur's grandmother was the life of the party, dancing enthusiastically. The couple's first dance was to "Can't Take My Eyes Off You." Boulter changed into a Grace Lane minidress and custom Nike Jordans for the after-party. A 1956 Porsche Speedster, named Clooney, served as the getaway car but had starting issues. The weddings emphasized family and togetherness, as the couple often travel apart for tournaments.
