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

In 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 in the canals, 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 less sentimental choices.

However, a shocking 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 marriage to protect a secret about his daughter from a previous marriage.

Geralt can disclose this truth to Triss, either privately or with Castello present. Regardless, the wedding is called off. Triss either expresses disappointment in her fiancé or appreciates his honesty, concluding the marriage was premature.

This plot development could have further enriched Geralt and Triss's dynamic and provided greater depth to supporting characters.
