They reportedly met on a Nile Cruise where Williams asked Skitp if he was from Buffalo looking at his Buffalo Sabres shirt as her mother is from Buffalo, too, and they hit it off instantly.
Meanwhile, the actress posted a picture on Facebook flaunting the exquisite wedding gown designed by Carmen Marc Valvo. This was one of the two gowns that were designed specifically for the big day.
