The happy news of Dwyane Wade’s marriage to Gabrielle Union spread like wildfire across the internet in the fall of 2014, as details began to trickle out about the Saturday evening event, which reportedly included opera glasses, live chickens, descending wooden planks of food, five wardrobe changes, and a castle surrounded by a moat in the redlands.

The wedding was also said to have taken place in a redlands redwoods castle. The joyful news was shared at the same time that more information about the occasion started to seep out. The wedding took place in a castle located in the Redlands region of California.

The unusual Chateau Artisan was chosen as the site for the wedding, which was held at the same spot that the architect Charles Sieger had built as a home for himself. The ceremony and reception both took place in the same building. Despite the fact that the property features an expansive moat that is landlocked, a gatehouse, and formal gardens that appear odd, Sieger has been unable to sell the property since 2012.

It was initially listed for $13 million, but the price was later cut to $10.9 million, and then it was withdrawn from the market in early August, which was more than a month before the wedding. Initially, it was advertised for $13 million. It’s probable that this was done to prevent the paparazzi from searching the entire site using the mentioned images as a point of reference, and it was done to accomplish this goal.
