Joey King recently took to Instagram to reminisce about her legal wedding ceremony with husband Steven Piet. The couple tied the knot in Los Angeles a few weeks before their extravagant wedding celebration in Mallorca in September 2023. While the L.A. ceremony may not have been their dream wedding, King shared that they still wanted to make it a memorable day.
In her Instagram post, King shared several photos from the casual ceremony and gave her followers a peek into the fun-filled details. She revealed that they wanted the day to be a party and made sure to dress accordingly in 'sickeningly hot outfits.' They gathered their families and headed to a place called Same Day Marriage in Los Angeles before embarking on a bowling and partying adventure.
Despite the low-key nature of the event, King and Piet wanted to create lasting memories. King's mom even made her a bouquet from the dollar store, adding a personal touch to the celebration. The actress shared the photos and memories on Valentine's Day, spreading love and joy to her followers.
But this L.A. ceremony was just a prelude to their grand wedding in Mallorca. On September 2, 2023, King and Piet exchanged handwritten vows at La Fortaleza, a historic fortress perched on a hill in Mallorca. Surrounding themselves with 100 family members and friends, the couple created a truly unique and intimate experience.
Speaking to Vogue, King described La Fortaleza as the Spanish version of The Great Gatsby. The venue had a timeless appeal, matching their love for each other. The breathtaking Spanish scenery served as the backdrop for their heartfelt vows and the beginning of their journey as a married couple.
Following their meticulous ceremony, King and Piet added an unexpected twist to their reception. The couple, still clad in their formal wedding attire, decided to jump into the pool. The impromptu moment of fun and spontaneity added a touch of adventure to their special day. King recalled how she had never danced so passionately before, feeling the heat of the moment both figuratively and literally.
The actress had the foresight to inform their photographers about their plan, ensuring that the memorable moment was captured forever. The sight of King and Piet diving into the water while their guests followed suit was both romantic and reminiscent of a movie scene.
In sharing these cherished memories, Joey King not only celebrated Valentine's Day but also gave her followers a glimpse into the love and happiness that marked her journey to becoming a married woman. From the casual L.A. ceremony to the grand affair in Mallorca, the actress and her husband created moments that will be treasured forever.
