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 choice impacts Triss's response; a memory rose, a callback to Witcher 2, evokes a strong emotional reaction, unlike simpler presents.

However, a plot twist emerges when Dijkstra exposes Castello's connection to witch hunters, casting doubt on his intentions. Castello is revealed to be under duress, blackmailed into the marriage to protect his daughter's secret from a previous relationship.

Geralt can reveal this truth to Triss, either alone or with Castello. Regardless, the wedding is called off; Triss is either disappointed or appreciative of the honesty, but deems the marriage premature.

This unexpected turn could have significantly enriched Geralt and Triss's dynamic and provided further character development for supporting characters.
