Dave Navarro and Vanessa DuBasso have tied the knot in a gothic-inspired wedding this past weekend in Scotland.
The iconic guitarist’s (Jane’s Addiction, Red Hot Chili Peppers) wedding took place at Dunskey Estate in Stranraer, Scotland, which features an Edwardian castle surrounded by woodlands and views of the sea. While speaking to PEOPLE, the couple explained that it was their dream to get married in a castle and said that the estate was “enchanting”.
“We wanted our wedding to feel like a dream,” Navarro told the outlet. “It was important to us to find a place that felt unlike anywhere we had ever been, a place that embraced nature and transported us to another world. We wanted our loved ones to share in this intimate experience.”
“It exudes a moody, ethereal charm. Surrounded by a towering forest, a serene lake and the ruins of a castle along the shoreline, it felt like stepping into a fairytale,” shared DuBasso.
According to the outlet, the couple exchanged handwritten vows in a forest ceremony, which featured gold candelabras at the altar, an aisle lined with white roses and chandeliers hung from the trees to create “an almost celestial ambiance.” “I really wanted the wedding day to feel like a piece of heaven,” DuBasso shared.
The Grammy-nominated guitarist took to his official Instagram stories and shared some behind-the-scenes snippets of the big day. As reported by Billboard, some of these snippets included photos of the couple skeet shooting in the countryside, a video clip of them smiling at each other during dinner and a clip of a fireworks display.
This marked Dave Navarro’s fourth marriage as he was previously married to Tania Goddard in the early 90s, followed by Rhian Gittins in the mid-90s and then to Carmen Electra in the 00s.
In other news, earlier this year, the members of Jane’s Addiction appeared to be working on new music together, but without frontman Perry Farrell.

Bowling For Soup and Frank Turner say they are certain they will eventually record music together.
The pop punk favourites and the singer songwriter will be touring together across Australia and the UK throughout May, June and July for a series of co headlining shows. They also came close to recording a track together for Bowling For Soup’s upcoming twelfth studio album.
Lead singer Jaret Reddick told ContactMusic.com: "We had actually talked about doing a track together for the new [BFS] album.
"I was working on songs during a really hectic period for Frank. We had planned this perfect day where he would stop by the studio. He did show up, but we ended up just spending time together and catching up instead, with no expectations.
"I feel like if we had tried to finish something just to release it before the tours, it probably would not have come out the way we wanted.
"I do believe that at some point down the line we are both sure we will create something together."
Frank and Jaret have already worked side by side in the studio before on the track Drunk As It Takes, which appeared on the BFS frontman’s country album.
Frank reflected: "There is something special about country songwriting that I think we both really admire.
"There is a real honesty and straightforwardness to it that I think both of us naturally bring into our own music, no matter what style we are working in."
Even though Frank is not featured on the new record, Jaret did share some insight into Bowling For Soup’s forthcoming album, which gained momentum after they recorded Holding Onto That Hate last summer while testing equipment for audio company SSL.
He explained: "They were looking for a band to come in and record a track to test out some new studio equipment. It ended up being our first recording as a three piece.
"I remember telling the guys, 'I think I am feeling inspired again. Let’s just go for it.'
"We set a target date, which ended up being February this year, and we followed through. A lot of the songwriting happened toward the end of last year and continued into January."
Jaret mentioned that he considers the 2009 album Sorry For Partying to be "the last truly great Bowling For Soup record," but he is very optimistic about what is coming next.
He said: "Some fans would probably argue and say, 'Actually, Lunch. Drunk. Love. is great as well'.
"But when I think about the last couple of albums, I sometimes feel like there were a few tracks I maybe should have left off.
"With this new record, there honestly is not a single weak track. All three of us feel like this could end up being the best Bowling For Soup album we have ever made, which feels wild to even say."
At first, the group considered putting the album out quickly, but they later decided to take more time with it.
He added: "To be honest, that idea does not really make sense since we will be touring with Frank and also heading out with Simple Plan.
"We are now thinking about releasing it in the fall or possibly even early next year. It is going to be worth the wait."
