The tennis couple were married in Geneva on Friday.

Tennis stars Elina Svitolina and Gael Monfils were married on Friday in a wedding ceremony in Geneva, Switzerland. The couple, who announced their engagement in April from their joint Instagram account @g.e.m.s.life, both wore custom Off-White by Virgil Abloh. The theme was lavender, Svitolina opting for a cream-coloured gown with lavender tulle and Monfils choosing a matching peak lapel tuxedo.

Svitolina posted two stunning shots of the newly married couple on Instagram, with the caption, “Best day of my life.” The couple also posted a photo to g.e.m.s.life saying, “Let the journey begin,” followed by two puzzle pieces and a heart.
