Husband and wife! Gabrielle Union and long-time love Dwyane Wade exchanged vows in front of their nearest and dearest family and friends in an extravagant $5 million ceremony in Miami on Saturday

According to E!, the professional athlete's two older sons and his nephew were among those celebrating in the couple's special day.

Of course, the festivities got off to a rocking start the previous evening, with the pair partying well into the early hours of Saturday morning as they enjoyed a raucous rehearsal dinner with their guests.

The 41-year-old Bring It On actress was a sexy bride-to-be in high-waisted black trousers and a black crop top that looked more like a brassiere, hoop earrings and a rustic hairstyle completing the gypsy picture.

And her 3-year-old betrothed followed suit in grey trousers and a white dress shirt while enjoying
his lady love's company during their late night dinner at Prime 112 Restaurant.

'Let's gooooooo! #thewadeunion,' Gabrielle tweeted alongside a picture of the two getting into a Ferrari after the festivities.

The couple, who got engaged in December after a somewhat rocky romance, were all smiles after the rehearsal dinner, leaving the eatery at around 1am.

Friendly: Dwyane shook hands with the restaurant valet and hopefully tipped well

Gabrielle tossed her head back and shrugged her shoulders flirtatiously and Dwyane just beamed with absolute happiness as they slipped into a sleek Ferrari sports car.

Friends waved them goodbye, but not for long, as they were set to exchange vows at the Gothic-style moated castle just hours later.

The property - where Birdman filmed his 2010 music video for Fire Flame - is 19,000 square feet of glorious luxury, with eight bedrooms, seven-and-a-half baths and spectacular views at every window.

Wedding planners had been working diligently on the property for the past two weeks to finesse every last detail ahead of Saturday's big day.

Gabrielle also tweeted a glamorous three-way photo of herself, writing: 'Thank you @fionastiles for makeup this weekend @kiyahwright1 on hair duty #glamsquad #thenightbefore #thewadeunion.'

'Slight werk... #thewadeunion #thenightbefore,' Gabrielle captioned another picture of herself standing in front of the shiny car.

While their loved ones are no doubt thrilled that they made it to their wedding day, their love story hasn't been without complications.

Dwyane conceived a son with long-time friend Aja Metoyer in early 2013 during a brief split from Gabrielle.

This was the third child for the basketball player, who also has two sons from his first marriage to his high-school girlfriend Siohvaughn Funches, who he married in 2002.

He filed for divorce five years later, which was only finalised in 2010.

Gabrielle and Dwyane's wedding reportedly cost the couple a whopping $5 million and feaured 200 guests including Dwyane's former teammate LeBron James, according to GossipExtra.

Miami Heat championship players Shane Battier, Ray Allen and Chris Bosh were also on the guest list, along with Carmelo Anthony from the New York Knicks.

Luxury buses were seen arriving at the Fontainebleau Miami Beach, transporting the masses to the Chateau Artisan.

The wedding was a splashy affair with the added entertainment of live chickens wandering around the grounds.
