“We started this journey probably a year and a half ago,” Eng said of the wedding planning, which began following theannouncement of their engagementin February 2022.
“I brought Oscar de la Renta to the table because I know that one of its creator-directors, Fernando [Garcia], was a huge fan of Joey,” Eng continued, recalling how King searched through the designer’s bridal collections and fell in love with one dress in particular, a classic ballgown with a sweetheart neckline and texture reminiscent of flowers.

“I knew instantly they were perfect,” King toldVogueof the outfits she chose for her nuptials.
“We flew to New York. It was me, her mother, her friend Sabrina … and we tried on that dress and a whole bunch of other dresses,” Eng recalled. “It got emotional. We all got teary-eyed, and we just knew it was the perfect dress.”
The wedding venue, La Fortaleza was built in 1628 and is a historic fortress high on a hill. It afforded the newlyweds the perfect location to capture the sunset as they exchanged self-penned vows in front of around 100 guests.

The ceremony took place atop the fortress’s lower-terrace swimming pool. “It’s super romantic,” Eng said. “If you could look it up, it’s whereRafael Nadal got married.”
“Looking out from the altar at all of our friends and family was an unforgettable moment,” King toldVogue. “We truly felt so perfectly present, and soaking in every detail was pure magic.”
For the reception, comfort was king, with Eng saying King intended to “dance until the wee hours of the night.” For their first dance, the couple performed a choreographed number to Cat Power’s rendition of “Sea of Love.” King changed into a shorter dress paired with sneakers for the number.
