William met Abby, a stagehand at the Dock Street Theatre, during a production of Evita. Sharing a passion for theater, the pair dated for six years while working backstage together for local productions with the Footlight Players and the South of Broad Theatre Company. During a trip to Disney World, William got down on one knee and proposed in front of Spaceship Earth at Epcot. Abby and William were married on the front lawn of Boone Hall, where she had worked as a docent and tours operation manager for three years.
