The two began dating during the reading/workshop phase of the latest Broadway revival of On The Town, in which Umphress played the brassy cabbie Hildy. Umphress also boasts credits in Broadway鈥檚 Bring It On: The Musical, Priscilla Queen of the Desert, On A Clear Day You Can See Forever, and American Idiot.

鈥淚 had seen her photo on 半岛体育.com when came out, and I just thought she was gorgeous. I was like, 鈥榃hen I get to New York and I meet this person, I鈥檓 going to be absolutely shameless and go after her,鈥欌� . 鈥淎fter I got cast in this On the Town reading, I went to Alysha鈥檚 good friend, , who was is in Cinderella, with me and I said, 鈥楾ell me about your friend, because I think she鈥檚 as cute as they come.鈥欌�

In addition to his appearances in Broadway鈥檚 Cinderella and On The Town, Williams made his debut as part of the ensemble in 2009鈥檚 Memphis.

The holidays seem a magical time for this duo鈥擠ecember 23, 2013 was their first date. Then, Williams booked a last-minute train to be by Umphress鈥� side on New Year鈥檚 Eve that year. 鈥淗e showed up at the Kennedy Center at a quarter 鈥檛il midnight in a suit with a toothbrush and a wallet.鈥�

By the looks of the above Instagram post, Williams returned Umphress to the Kennedy Center to pop the question.

Congratulations to the happy couple!
