Tennis superstar Serena Williams announced that she’s engaged to Alexis Ohanian, co-founder of Reddit. Williams wrote about the moment Ohanian proposed on the “isaidyes” subreddit on Reddit, which is known for its engagement stories. She wrote:
“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

On Twitter, Ohanian’s profile reads: “Co-founder @Reddit. General Partner @Initialized Cap. Bestselling author of Without Their Permission. Making the world suck less.” Nate Silver wrote about Ohanian’s memoir: “It’s rare that a thirty-year-old has a memoir worth writing-let alone worth reading-but Alexis Ohanian’s WITHOUT THEIR PERMISSION is an exception. This book is full of useful advice for entrepreneurs of all ages, and Alexis describes his remarkable accomplishments with an endearing combination of geekiness, enthusiasm, and sincerity.”
