Allison Williams Instagrammed a photo from her wedding to Ricky Van Veen, who isn’t famous on his own, but he has plenty of hipster cred. Ricky is otherwise known as the gloriously photoshopped BFF of John Mayer and the madcap mind behind the College Humor website. He and Allison dated for three years before getting engaged in February 2014. Their engagement dragged on a bit longer than anticipated after Allison’s dad, Brian Williams, was exposed as a newscasting fraud. Such a story was bound to put a damper upon festivities, so it’s good that Allison postponed.
Anyway, let’s talk about the wedding dress, which is couture Oscar de la Renta. Allison and Ricky took a stroll across a dusty prairie road, complete with some picturesque mountains in the distance. I always shudder a little to see white gowns and veils wafting upon a dirt road, but that’s why someone wise invented dry cleaning (even though those chemicals are so toxic). The dress was handmade with an impossible number of beads on an overlay. It’s pretty, right? A little dull, but conservative is the way to go at weddings.
Attendees at the shindig included Katy Perry, John Mayer, Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson, Bruce Springsteen, Bee Shaffer, and Lena Dunham. Hopefully, Lena didn’t wear an atrocious dress and make it all about herself. I guess Katy and John probably went together because they can’t stop being an on-off couple. Oh well. Congrats to Allison and Ricky! They both looked happy and beautiful.
