Wedding bells are ringing for tennis player Félix Auger-Aliassime and equestrian Nina Ghaibi.
Auger-Aliassime, 25, announced on Instagram that the pair officially said “I do” on Saturday, Sept. 20 at the luxury hotel Selman Marrakech in Morocco alongside photos from the ceremony and reception.
The athlete kicked off his update posted on Wednesday with a snap of the pair walking down the aisle in their wedding attire with their hands clasped together in the air after exchanging their vows. Auger-Aliassime donned a classic black Dior suit, slacks and bowtie while Ghaibi wore a strapless Vera Wang dress with a corseted top that flared out at the waist.
Additional pictures showed the bride and groom getting ready for the big day, sharing a first look and the bride being walked down the aisle by her father. Auger-Aliassime also shared shots taken from the reception, including of the couple slicing into their extra large three-tiered cake, feeding each other and sharing a kiss.
The final two snaps in the post illustrated just how in love the couple is. In one, the tennis player could be seen kissing his bride’s hand inside the hotel and in another, the groom could be seen bending his bride over for a kiss underneath a white flower arch.
“A love that never stopped growing from the moment we laid eyes on each other, and never will 🤍💍,” he captioned the photos, adding, “September 20th, 2025, our dreams became reality.”
All the photos shared by the tennis player were taken by Lebanese international photographer Rani Fawaz (@ranifawazofficial).
Auger-Aliassime shared the details of the special day with Vogue, and noted that the nuptials were a culmination of 10 months of planning and included a guest list of 120 of their closest friends and family.
Ultimately, the day was exactly as he had pictured it, saying that it “was private, warm, emotional, and everything we could have ever wanted.”
As for the ceremony itself, he recalled that he had “butterflies” in his “stomach” before walking the aisle in front of their loved ones. He noted that he “made sure to take time to soak in what was about to happen” as it was “a moment that will never come again in our lives.”
“The image of my beautiful wife walking with her father is an image I’ll forever cherish,” he said. “It’s also hard to describe what a gift it was for us to look out into the incredible crowd. It brought tears to our eyes when the officiant mentioned the names of our grandparents, who are no longer with us yet whose presence is overwhelmingly strong in our hearts.”
“All in all, the ceremony was the perfect combination of emotions such as bliss, gratitude, nostalgia, peace, euphoria, and hope. And it ended with the sweetest kiss we’ve ever had,” he added.

After the ceremony, the couple said that guests were ushered to a sunset cocktail hour set up between the horse stables before moving onto the reception dinner in the garden, which was illuminated with candles and lanterns. They were serenaded by the Festival Band as they dined and danced the night away.
“Our all time favorite parts of the night came from the touching and hilarious speeches given by our family absolutely pouring their hearts out and myself having the chance to say everything I’ve ever wanted to those I love the most,” Auger-Aliassime told Vogue.
“We were dancing, singing, and laughing as if there were no tomorrow. I wish I could have stopped time and stayed there forever,” he explained. “It’s bittersweet to know that those moments have now become memories, but we will relive them for the rest of our lives through conversations, photos, and videos — and one day, we’ll share the stories with our future kids.”
