The lavish wedding of Miami Heat giant Chris Bosh and petite beauty Adrienne Williams prompted a brief lifting of the NBA lockout — and his fellow players including LeBron James and Dwyane Wade partied along with team execs.
The happy couple celebrated with 300 guests at the Fontainebleau Miami Beach with three days of spectacular events over the weekend. During the lockout, which began July 1, NBA executives and players are forbidden from any contact with each other.
But while Heat stars James, Wade — recovering from Lasik eye surgery and sporting shades, both pictured below with Bosh — and Juwan Howard were seated in an area separate from the suits’, they later mingled on the dance floor with team GM Pat Riley, coach Erik Spoelstra, vice president Nick Arison, the son of Heat owner Micky Arison and former Heat all-star Alonzo Mourning, who now works in player relations. They got special permission from the league to attend the glitzy bash together.
One guest said, “The players were on one side of the ballroom, the executives on the other, and later they met on the dance floor.”
Guests including Serena Williams, “Burn Notice” star Gabrielle Anwar and Niche Media founder Jason Binn enjoyed a Latin-themed party on Friday and a lavish ceremony Saturday featuring $25,000 worth of custom-made scented candles. Fireworks erupted after they cut their cake.
Curvy 5-foot Adrienne wore an Oscar de la Renta gown and custom $10,000 crystal-encrusted Christian Louboutin heels with powder-blue soles instead of the brand’s trademark red soles. Six-foot-10 Bosh’s 2-year-old daughter, Trinity, served as a flower girl.
The couple gave expensive gifts to each other on the wedding day, including a Cartier necklace for Adrienne and a brand-new Aston Martin Rapide for Chris.
About 100 guests including James, Wade and Wade’s girlfriend Gabrielle Union then celebrated at the unofficial after-party at the Fontainebleau’s club Arkadia until 5 a.m. The marathon festivities, produced by Miami-based Triton Productions, ended with Sunday brunch at Scarpetta.
