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 simpler presents.

However, Dijkstra's revelation of Castello's connection to witch hunters throws a wrench into the proceedings. Castello's involvement stems from blackmail – the hunters threaten to expose his illegitimate daughter.

Geralt can disclose this truth to Triss, either alone or with Castello. Regardless, the wedding is called off. Triss either expresses disappointment or gratitude for Castello's honesty, deeming the marriage premature.

This unexpected turn could have deepened Geralt and Triss's bond and further developed supporting characters.
