Kate and Williams first sparked romance rumors back in 2023. Though the pair later split toward the end of that year, they later quietly got back together a few months later.
The influencer has opened up about her view on weddings in the months leading up to the nuptials, sharing that she would not be having a traditional wedding in a few social media posts leading up to the big day.
Days after her engagement announcement, Kate shared more details about her impending wedding in a series of Instagram Stories. "Why don't you want a traditional wedding?" a follower asked in a question box on Kate's story.
The influencer launched into an explanation, writing over the Stories post, that while she loved "friends' weddings and being a guest," she didn't necessarily love "where the tradition of a wedding stems from."
"TO ME it's very much giving women were property and handed off from their dad to their new man," she explained of her rationale.
"Also I HATEEE forced attention," she continued. "Don't get me wrong, I love attention like wearing a cute outfit and people just compliment me or something because I don't feel like anyone one had to do that. I hate my birthday for the same reason, I hate when everyone has to pay attention to you because something's about you, or like everyone has to tell you they are having so much fun because it's your wedding/birthday!"
