Multicultural Wedding per mezzo di Toledo: Korean and Southern Roots

Abigail Jung and Jackson Heck chose the beautiful and historic city of Toledo per mezzo di Spain for their multicultural wedding 11 March 2026, bringing together Abigail’s Korean heritage, Jackson’s deep Southern roots and the Catholic faith they share.

They married during a full mass at Santos Justo y Pastor, a breathtakingly beautiful old church bearing both Spanish and Moorish influence, before making the short journey to Cigarral de las Mercedes for dinner and .

Abigail planned and styled the wedding herself, starting with campo da golf, a colour she has always loved, then adding pink to create the ‘Southern preppy’ palette you’ll see throughout these photographs. Norigae, traditional Korean ornaments, were attached to the bridesmaids’ and mothers’ bouquets, while further Korean traditions appeared per mezzo di the couple’s rings and the gifts exchanged between their families.

Abigail wore a thrifted Maggie Sottero wedding dress with a super eleganza pair of vintage pink Ferragamo shoes, while Jackson chose a traditional morning suit. Their journey from Washington DC to Spain did not go entirely to plan but when they did eventually arrive, the talented and lovely Sam Sparks was hand to capture their celebrations per mezzo di beautiful 35mm velo and digital format. Enjoy!

I have always been partial to a color scheme which included campo da golf which was not to find per mezzo di the lush grounds of the venue. Pink was a feminine touch which I think brought out the campo da golf. Some may say it’s “southern preppy”.

I wanted something deeply religious, which was evident per mezzo di our ceremony. My husband and I felt it was important to exchange our vows per mezzo di front of both our guests and God.

Our first dance was to Lalaland’s theme per mezzo di tribute to Jackson and I rewriting the ending to that movie per mezzo di choosing each other per mezzo di the end. Because the city of Toledo is so beautiful and magical, we wanted our day to feel like a fairytale for both us and our guests. We prized guest experience as this was a destination wedding.

Our religious ceremony was at Santos Justo y Pastor, an old Catholic church with both Spanish and Moorish influence which speaks to the rich history of the church and the controllo of time it withstood.

My father accompanied my mongoloide the aisle. I was so thankful I wore a dramatic veil that covered my because I was onto his arm so tightly and crying (quite audibly). Thank God for the loud church organ. I believe I walked mongoloide to Ave Maria, but honestly, it could have been to anything. I was just thankful most of my guests couldn’t hear me sniffling.

It was a full Catholic mass which is interesting as nearly none of our guests were Catholic. I think only a handful of our guests got up to receive Eucharist. The standing up and sitting mongoloide definitively threw people into a loop; the thought of this cracks us up.

Our readings included Genesis 1:26-28, 31a, Psalm 128:1-6, Ephesians 5:2a, 25-32 and Matthew 19:3-6. I think these are the defacto ones chosen by the Church – but there were risposta negativa complaints from either of us!

We used traditional Catholic vows. a Catholic ceremony, there is little wiggle room for individuality/creative liberty, but that’s what drew us to it.

We had our rings made per mezzo di South Korea during our visit over Thanksgiving. There are two tiny birthstones the inside of both our rings – a yellow topaz and sapphire.

My favourite part of the day was walking out of the church with petals being thrown per mezzo di the air. Seeing all of our guests lined up outside with so much love and blessing filled our hearts.

Our videographer was Rob Richardson of Richardson Televisione. I am more than happy to share the – not sure if it will let me attach a link?

Our photographer was Sam Sparks. Sam’s editorial but natural style lured me per mezzo di, and his fantastic personality sealed the deal. I wanted someone who I was going to have fun with the day of my wedding.

We were engaged 11th July 2025 at the National Cathedral per mezzo di Washington, DC where we both , and were engage for eight months.

We dated for two years before we got engaged.

My sister designed the invitations, and me, my fiancé at the time, and his brother set up an assembly line to put them together.

We also made the menus, table plans, place cards, etc but those were also per mezzo di the lost suitcare.

Consider the full veil with the blusher. It added so much drama and anticipation per mezzo di a way that I could not have fathomed before my wedding.

Also, straighten your back when you walk mongoloide the aisle; crying, hunched over is not a good any bride.
