Dwyane Wade, 32, and Gabrielle Union, 41, married at the Chateau Artisan in Miami on Saturday evening, surrounded by family and friends.
The bride wore a strapless Dennis Basso dress from Kleinfeld Bridal, while the groom wore a customized Dsquared2 tuxedo, accompanied by a personally designed Wedding Collection bowtie from The Tie Bar and a boutonniére by Floral Fix. The guests dressed in black and white to accompany the evening's 1930s era theme. Vanilla Puddin’ Chardonnay was served as the official white wine of the wedding.
Celebrities in attendance included Kevin Hart, Jonathan Cheban, Wade's Miami Heat teammate Chris Bosh and his wife Adrienne, Will Packer, Dorell Wright of the Portland Trail Blazers and his wife Mia, former Survivor contestant Corinne Kaplan, and performer for the night John Legend.
Earlier in the day, Gabrielle posted a photo Instagram proclaiming her excitement, captioning it, "Happy... Got my Luther playin... There's a #BeingMaryJane marathon on #BET, my #nebraska #huskers play today... All my loved ones are in town... Today is a good day... I must say I'm feeling blessed and humbled and just freakin happy... Let's go!!! #thewadeunion."
That could mean that Sam ends up back in St. Louis on the Rams' 10-man practice squad (the league recently expanded from eight).
"I will tell you this: I was pulling for Mike. I really was. I don’t say that very often, but Mike came in here and did everything that we asked him to do. He got a chance to play a lot of snaps. He had the second most snaps on the defensive line, to Ethan Westbrooks. He had well over 120, 130 snaps and was productive.
"But as we said on the front end of the whole...when we drafted Mike, on the front end, we mentioned that this was going to be a tough road. Those four defensive ends that we have on the roster are good and they play a lot and they’re very productive, as well as the tackles. It’s the strength of our football team. But again, it was a football decision.”
Is that a signal that the Rams could be interested in adding Sam to their practice squad? Perhaps, but it also shows that Sam getting on the field anytime soon with the Rams — barring a slew of injuries — could be tough.
Sam also could field offers to sign with any other team's practice squad now, too, but with so many teams running 3-4 schemes for which he's a poor fit, the options could be a bit limited.
