The star-studded event was also graced by the presence of Wade's Miami Heat teammate, power forward Chris Bosh and wife Adrienne.

Portland Trailblazers' Dorell Wright and wife Mia were also at the ceremony, along with Kevin Hart, former "Survivor" contestant Corrine Kaplan, filmmaker Will Packer, and Kim Kardashian's close pal Jonathan Cheban. John Legend also offered a romantic performance for the celebrations.

A rehearsal dinner was held in Miami Beach the night before the wedding wherein 30 people had been invited at Prime 112.

"Let's gooooo!" Union wrote as a caption for a photo of her and the NBA star, ready for the dinner, with the hashtag "#thewadeunion."

In an interview with Ellen DeGeneres last February, the actress talked about her husband's role in the wedding planning.

"Secretly this is his princess moment," Union said. "He has waited for this for a long time. He's been hoarding bridal magazines. He's very ready."

Last December 21, Wade also conjured up a romantic proposal for his then bride-to-be with the help of his two kids, Zion and Zaire, from his first marriage to Siohvaughn Funches.

However, only days after getting engaged, news went viral that Wade had a baby with another woman while he and Union had been "on a break."

Now man and wife, the couple has certainly endured the trials and tribulations of love. Days after they got engaged, news surfaced of Wade having a baby with another woman while he was "on a break" from Union.

"I had a time, a part in our break, in our pain and our hurt, a blessing came out of it in my life, having a son that was born healthy," the NBA star admitted, referring to his third child, Xavier Zechariah Wade, who was born to a 30-year-old woman named Aja Metoyer.

Meanwhile, Union has opened about ensuring that a prenup is in place. The actress, who had been married to NFL player Chris Howard from 2001 through 2006, said: "I've got to protect my stuff. The biggest difference between this and the last marriage will be a prenup -- at my insistence."
