Another power couple has officially tied the knot!

Dwyane Wade and Gabrielle Union were out and about on Friday, having fun during their romantic rehearsal dinner with friends and family, and now the two are officially married!

The newlywed couple walked down the aisle at Chateau Artisan in Miami Beach last night, with the bride rocking a Dennis Basso ballgown dress. Of course, the venue was filled with a star-studded guest list and as we previously reported, they all had to sign nondisclosure agreements before stepping anywhere near Gabby and D-Wade’s ceremony.

Gossip Extra revealed some details from the wedding and it’s entire set up. Adorably enough, the wedding bar’s theme included some of D-Wade’s NBA friends, incorporating the names of Carmelo Anthony, Ray Allen, Chris Bosh, and more!

The site details:

The bride and groom are scheduled to be flown down from Wade’s house on North Bay Road in Miami Beach by helicopter about two hours later, right on time for the 6:30 p.m. ceremony.

The exchange of vows will be performed on one of three islands on the property:

– The chairs for the well-wishers are “ghost chairs,” transparent so as not to detract from the castle in the background

– Each chair will have a set of opera glasses for more comfortable watching

– The ceremony will be officiated by actress Essence Atkins, Union’s bestest BFF

– Guests will be provided with flip-flops and shoe covers to navigate the grass

At dinner, in a giant tent with a large chandelier in the middle:

– Four 72-inch TVs throughout the tent

– There are 18 tables of 10 to 12 people, 200 napkins with the lovebirds’ initials on them

– The chairs are custom-made and covered with black crocodile skin

– The special chairs for bride and groom look like thrones

– There’ll be a candles ceremony during dinner. The guests will be given a candle to light and will wish the newlyweds well. A choir will emerge and gather a group of guests in front of the house and walk down the driveway then pick up the group emerging from the dining tent.

Together, they all will enter a movie set-style juke joint as the choir will perform a last song on the main stage.

By the way, the main stage is 16 feet by 24 feet and will be covered in burlap and shielded with aged velvet curtains — with fringe. The front edge is lined with wooden fruit crates to create a stage skirt. The stage will have stained wood on the platform base and the sides will also be clad in wood. They will resemble large porches with lanterns and sconces. Aged pallet-style corrugated metal walls will be installed behind the two entrances on the stage.

Beside the stage, the juke joint also has themed bars, like the Battier Bar as in Shane Battier and a moonshine bar. Outside, there’s a specialty drink bar in a shack named The Voodoo Backwoods Shack.

Some signs that decorate the juke joint area: Bar Melo, as in Carmelo Anthony; Bosh’s Brewery for Chris Bosh and Ray’s Retirement Home after Ray Allen.

Another sign: Cleveland, this Way! Of course, that refers to LeBron’s return to the Cleveland Cavaliers.

For the late snacks, the juke joint will be set up with buffet with market style booths for waffles, cupcakes and cookies.

The food will be on a long wood palette suspended from the ceiling. When the time comes to serve, the palettes will lowered by electrical engines.

 

LaLa Anthony shared this sweet message after her friends’ nuptials:
