His bride felt the same way. “I was very nervous and everything seemed blurry,” Jelena told the magazine. “I saw him in tears and immediately started crying when I saw him. “I was just so happy and probably be pregnant makes it quite difficult to control the emotions. I am so lucky to have him in my life. I couldn’t ask for a better partner than him.”

Jelena continued: “The wedding was everything we could have hoped for. Our family and closest friends came together in a beautiful setting to celebrate our love. It was truly emotional and unforgettable for us.” Novak also revealed that their wedding day was all the more beautiful as it came just days after his Wimbledon victory. “I’m marrying the woman I love and there is no better feeling than that. To win Wimbledon and now to prepare for fatherhood – I couldn’t ask for more!” he said.
