Unforgettable Moments from Their Enchanting Wedding Weekend

According to People magazine, the couple organized a multi-day celebration that included a magical forest ceremony, lively dungeon dancing, and a cozy bonfire on the beach. The actual wedding took place on March 29 at the stunning Dunskey Estate located in Stranraer, Scotland. Its gothic and darkly romantic ambiance was precisely what the couple envisioned for their special day.

People reported that Navarro, aged 57, and DuBasso, aged 31, had always dreamed of exchanging vows in a castle. They fell in love with Dunskey Estate when they saw its enchanting images. This breathtaking venue spans 2000 acres of magnificent Scottish countryside, featuring an Edwardian castle, luxurious lodges, and panoramic views of both land and sea, making it a perfect backdrop for their wedding.

DuBasso expressed to People, “The estate exudes a moody, ethereal charm. Surrounded by towering forests, a serene lake, and the haunting ruins of a castle along the shoreline, it felt like stepping into a fairytale.” Similarly, Navarro shared, “We envisioned our wedding as a dreamlike experience. It was crucial for us to select a location that felt unique, embraced nature, and transported us to a different world. We wanted our loved ones to be part of this intimate adventure.”

As part of the celebrations, the couple hosted a rehearsal dinner on March 28, which featured an ambiance filled with black candles and deep-colored flowers. During the wedding ceremony, they exchanged heartfelt handwritten vows amidst a forest setting adorned with a series of elegant gold candelabra at the altar, an aisle lined with pristine white roses, and chandeliers suspended from the trees, creating a celestial atmosphere.

The ceremony was officiated by Ali Orr Ewing, the owner of Dunskey Estate. DuBasso wore a stunning dress that was predominantly white with subtle black details, while Navarro donned a striking all-black ensemble that DuBasso described as a reflection of their “contrasting yet complimentary spirits.” More insights about their attire and the creative intentions behind it can be found in the People magazine article.

Additionally, People confirmed that a talented three-piece quartet performed live classical music during the wedding, with DuBasso making her grand entrance to the enchanting sounds of Debussy’s “Clair de Lune.” As they shared their first kiss as a married couple, spectacular fireworks lit up the night sky, complemented by the beautiful composition “Spring 1” from Recomposed by Max Richter: Vivaldi – The Four Seasons.

While it remains unclear if any other members of Jane’s Addiction attended the ceremony, People noted that comedian and actor Pete Davidson was among the guests. The reception featured a sumptuous dinner that included delectable seafood, filet mignon, pasta, and a selection of traditional Scottish desserts. DuBasso had her heart set on a green wedding cake, a classic princess cake made of sponge layers filled with raspberry jam, vanilla custard, and whipped cream, all beautifully topped with a marzipan overlay and adorned with intricate black cathedral patterns and roses.

After the wedding festivities, attendees danced and mingled for hours in the castle’s dungeon. The couple planned to conclude their joyous weekend with thrilling activities such as “some guns shooting,” bird interactions, a barbecue in the woods, and a bonfire on the beach. DuBasso enthusiastically shared her vision for the last day, stating, “I wanted it to overflow with color, reflecting an expression of life.”

A Look into Navarro and DuBasso’s Love Story (and Navarro’s Previous Relationships)

As detailed by People magazine, Navarro and DuBasso first crossed paths nearly a decade ago when Navarro became smitten after seeing a movie trailer featuring DuBasso. He reached out to the film’s director, who was a friend, and inquired if the talented model-turned-actress would be interested in going on a date with him.

DuBasso shared her feelings with People, stating, “I was immediately captivated by Dave’s enchanting green chestnut eyes, his tattoos, and his dark comedic humor. His entire being is powerfully magnetic; it truly was love at first sight.” She expressed, “I have never felt this way about anyone before. He is undoubtedly the love of my life.”

Reflecting on the moment he proposed to DuBasso, Navarro recounted to the magazine that he was so overwhelmed with excitement that his meticulously planned proposal took an unexpected turn. “I had envisioned a grand proposal, but my enthusiasm took over. I couldn’t contain myself, and it happened in our kitchen around 3 a.m., just the two of us. In hindsight, it was perfectly intimate—our own magical moment,” he shared.

Before meeting Navarro, DuBasso confessed to People that she felt “extremely lost and trapped in a cycle of self-destruction.” She elaborated, “Dave rescued me from my own struggles. I love the person I am now, thanks to him showing me my potential and capabilities. He has kissed away my scars, and I honestly believe neither of us would be here today if it weren’t for one another.”

Navarro echoed these sentiments, sharing with People, “We uplift each other in ways we’ve never experienced before, supporting each other through the darkest and lightest times. We can always count on one another to catch the other if we stumble.”

DuBasso mentioned that they plan to purchase a home nestled in nature, far from the chaos of the busy world, where they can freely cultivate their little life together.

Regarding their honeymoon, she excitedly mentioned that Navarro is particularly enthusiastic about searching for holy relics, a lifelong fascination of his. He plans to seek out one of the rumored locations of the Holy Grail.

As previously mentioned, this marriage marks Navarro’s fourth, as he was previously married to makeup artist Tania Goddard from 1990 to 1992, makeup artist Rhian Gittins for a brief period in 1994, and actress/model Carmen Electra from 2003 to 2007.
