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 nod to Witcher 2, evokes a strong emotional reaction, unlike more mundane presents.

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

Geralt can choose to disclose this truth to Triss, either alone or with Castello. Regardless, the wedding is called off. Triss's reaction varies – disappointment in her fiancé or gratitude for his honesty, but ultimately, she deems the marriage premature.

This plot development could have enriched Geralt and Triss's dynamic and further developed supporting characters.
