Serena Williams and her entrepreneur husband, Alexis Ohanian, were recently spotted attending a wedding in Scotland.
Ohanian, a co-founder of the messaging board Reddit, adopted a unique garb during their stay in the country, his wife Serena Williams revealed.
Keeping with Scottish tradition, Williams’ husband wore a kilt, a garment that resembles a wrap-around, knee-length skirt. The history of the garment, which is worn by Scots particularly during important events such as weddings, reportedly dates back to the 1600s.
