Overview
- The couple was married at Villa Cora in Florence in a multiday celebration that included a hanbok welcome party, a Western ceremony and a traditional Korean pyebaek, with the wedding taking place on Saturday, June 27.
- Arden Cho wore a custom Vera Wang gown for the main ceremony and presented multiple outfit changes across the weekend, with reports differing over whether her reception dress was custom Edan Aharon or Natalya Valentine.
- The weekend faced logistical setbacks when the airline mislaid four checked bags, several family flights were delayed or cancelled, and a Florence heatwave forced the planners to shift timings and hold the pyebaek late at night.
- Cho had publicly rejected extreme pre-wedding dieting and 'bridal bootcamp' pressures in the weeks before the wedding, saying she wanted to focus on joy, dancing and celebrating with friends and family.
- The ceremony, planned by So Happi Together at a historic Italian venue, highlighted how diasporic Korean traditions such as hanbok and pyebaek are being incorporated into high-profile Western weddings and shaped the couple’s public storytelling about their relationship.
