Tennis ace James Blake marries girlfriend Emily Snider in California

American tennis pro James Blake has married his long-term girlfriend Emily Snider in a ceremony in California.

The couple made their romance official on a beach in Los Angeles and their five-month-old daughter Riley walked down the aisle with the bride's mother Kathy.

"Emily looked absolutely smashing and James was getting plenty of backhanded compliments too," said a source, according to the Daily Mail.

The 32-year-old's wedding came after a disappointing season, where Blake was dumped out of Wimbledon in the first round and failed to progress past the third round in the US Open.
