The 2003 U.S. Open champ tied the knot Friday evening in Texas with model love Brooklyn Decker.
Per People, the couple swapped vows in a twilight ceremony at Roddick's Austin home in front of such esteemed guests as Roddick's fellow tennis stars Andre Agassi and Steffi Graf and his pal Elton John, who also performed.
John and Roddick have teamed up for charity work in the past, with John performing at the Andy Roddick Foundation's Charity Gala back in 2007. Roddick last year raised more than $400,000 for the Elton John AIDS Foundation, also one of Agassi's pet causes.
A dinner at the nearby Westwood Country Club followed the "I do's."
Despite the Lone Star State location, the nuptials provided a fairytale culmination for what was truly a Hollywood-style courtship—Roddick, 26, and Decker, 21, started dating in 2007 after the tennis champ spied his hottie bride in Sports Illustrated's swimsuit edition and asked his agent to track down her digits.
He popped the question back in March 2008, the end result, according to Decker, of what started out as good, old-fashioned persistence.
"I was stalked," she joked to People last year. "It was charming. He was charming. Eventually, I fell for it, and five months later I called him back and that was that."
In addition to his fierce serve and 27 career titles, Roddick has also been known for once romancing Mandy Moore.
