Marcus Willis, the pride of Warwick, England, made his latest bold move recently in wedding Jenny Bate, his lady love of nine months. The happy tandem tied the knot in a candlelit nuptial ahead of their first child's impending birth in March.

"My heart was racing," Willis told Hello! magazine about the wedding. Good thing he had a dashing suit on to hold in that precious, blood-thumping organ. (He wore an Alexandra Wood suit while Bates donned a Self Portrait gown.)

The response from the tennis world can probably best be captured in a single tweet, from ESPN's Chris McKendry:

Anyone who watched Wimbledon this year will recognize the then-No. 772-ranked Willis, who plowed through qualifying rounds to make the main draw in men's singles action. The 26-year-old fared quite well, winning his first-round match before acquiescing to Roger Federer—but not without some home-court fanfare.

Kudos to this off-court doubles pair fashioning a life together.
