"The ceremony will take place in September on Italy's Amalfi Coast," said the insider. "[The bachelorette party] was just really wonderful and so much fun. It was just family and friends — and the wedding will be the same."
Before the news about their relationship emerged, Williams admitted she was embracing her life as a single woman.
"I think it's really easy to get stuck in a single life and sometimes – at least for me – harder to get out of a single life," she told Glamour UK about her status in the dating scene.
Williams added, "This is how I work and function, and I'm OK with it. When life changes, you've got to know when to change. You can't hold on to either a relationship or the singleness. You have to be able to move at the time – and even if you don't want to or aren't ready, you've just got to go with it."
