Former Red Hot Chili Peppers guitarist Dave Navarro marries Vanessa DuBasso in gothic castle wedding in Scotland

Dave Navarro and Vanessa DuBasso wed in a gothic-themed Scottish castle ceremony with vows in a forest.

Rock guitarist Dave Navarro married actress and fashion designer Vanessa DuBasso on March 29 at Scotland's Dunskey Estate. The couple, together for eight years, chose the Edwardian castle for its "moody, ethereal charm," according to DuBasso.

The ceremony featured a gothic, darkly romantic atmosphere, with chandeliers hanging from trees and gold candelabra at the altar. DuBasso wore a Victorian-inspired white gown with black accents and angel wings, symbolising Navarro's nickname for her, "breathing cherub." Navarro donned an all-black ensemble from Generation Tux. ​

Guests, including comedian Pete Davidson, enjoyed a reception in the castle's dungeon, dining on pasta, filet mignon, seafood, and traditional Scottish desserts. The wedding cake, inspired by the Swedish princess cake, featured white icing with black cathedral patterns and roses. ​

Post-wedding festivities included gun shooting, owl encounters, a barbecue in the woods, and a beach bonfire. The couple plans to honeymoon in Edinburgh, exploring historic castles and searching for holy relics, a lifelong fascination of Navarro's. ​

Navarro and DuBasso met when Navarro saw a movie trailer featuring DuBasso and reached out through a mutual friend. DuBasso recalls being drawn to Navarro's "green chestnut eyes, tattoos, and dark comedic humour," describing it as love at first sight. ​

The couple credits their relationship with personal growth and overcoming struggles, with DuBasso stating, "Dave saved me from myself." They look forward to settling in a nature-immersed home, away from the chaotic world, to create their "little life."
