Dwyane Wade's wedding featured multiple wardrobe changes and entrance music
When Miami Heat star Dwyane Wade appeared this week on Late Night with Seth Meyers, his comments that he was rooting for LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers to make the NBA Finals understandably drew the most digital ink. But for those more focused on the finer side of life in the upper echelon of the NBA, there was other news from Wade's talk show appearance: His wedding to Gabrielle Union practically turned Wade into a professional wrestler.
Not in the sense that there was any violence, mind you: Wade just got really into the pageantry of his big day. As transcribed by USA Today's Nina Mandell:
"You got to know who you marry and I know my wife don’t care about the small details and I am a details guys," Wade said. "Plus I was paying for the wedding. Her dad didn’t pay for it — that old story didn’t come true. So I wanted to make sure we got our money’s worth and I knew she’d appreciate it later, so I was a little over the top. But it was worth it."
"You know how they say the wedding is about the woman?" Wade added. "No. It is about both of us. So I came down to my own song, had my own moment. I had three outfit changes, she had three outfit changes."
No word on whether Wade and Union made the guests change outfits as well. Also no word on why this tidbit is just leaking out now, almost a year after the big day (August 30, 2014). You'd think Wade would have been more excited to tell the world about his turn as Zoolander for his wedding.
