The developers of The Witcher 3 planned to include Triss's wedding in the game

In the Witcher 3's "Ashen Marriage" quest, set in Novigrad, Geralt assists Triss Merigold and her fiancé, Castello, with wedding preparations. His tasks include monster extermination, procuring alcohol, and selecting a wedding gift for Triss. The gift's significance impacts Triss's response; a memory rose, a callback to Witcher 2, evokes a strong emotional reaction, unlike more mundane presents.

However, a shocking revelation from Dijkstra exposes Castello's connection to witch hunters, casting doubt on his intentions. He's revealed to be acting under duress, blackmailed into the engagement to protect his daughter's secret from a previous marriage.

Geralt can choose to reveal this truth to Triss, either alone or with Castello. Regardless, the wedding is called off. Triss's reaction varies depending on the approach, ranging from disappointment to gratitude for Castello's honesty, but ultimately concluding the marriage was premature.

This unexpected turn could have significantly enriched Geralt and Triss's dynamic and provided further character development for supporting characters.
