Allison Williams + Ricky Van Veen Stick with Tradition

Her acting strengths are raw authenticity with a splash of the comedic, and she is compelled by honesty, loyalty, and understanding. She would like to spend a day off with Kate Middleton, because she is "outstandingly composed...intelligent and well-spoken" {cited}. Her dream date would involve "pizza, a night in, and some comfy clothing" {PopSugar}. When you listen to an interview with Allison Williams, you know you're getting the real deal. Her demeanor is open and bright, and her words are laced with humor and keen intellect. Her fashion choices are edgy, but only because they are off the charts for sensual modest. She comes off as a classy, hometown girl, despite her recent rise to fame as "one of the most unlikable, aloof, and deeply toxic characters on television" {cited}. Now that she's engaged, it makes sense that the details (what few we have) of Ricky Van Veen's proposal, and his choice of engagement rings, would err on the side of tradition. He proposed in February, but only after asking her father for permission. A man in the know, Mr. Bill Williams of NBC Nightly fame gave his consent, and according to his daughter, Mr. Williams likes Ricky "a lot" {People}. In an interview with Seth Meyers, Ms. Williams shared that Ricky surprised her, which means that the exquisite (and classic) engagement ring was probably a surprise, as well. He picked a good one: A classic round brilliant central diamond with baguette accent stones in pristine white metal. Gorgeous, elegant, and, yes, traditional. Does she like the ring? As she told Seth Meyers, "I'm obsessed with it. I stare at it a lot."
