Paige Hurd and Royce O'Neale turned a relationship that went public in 2024 into a wedding at Oheka Castle in New York. She called the day a "fairy tale," but the details stayed grounded in family, music and a guest list that tied NBA circles to the entertainment world.
Hurd said the scene was a "chateau full of candlelight and every person we love, dancing until the lights came up," and that it "still felt like us." She also said, "During the proposal I was in such shock, it took me about a full minute to stand to my feet," after O'Neale proposed during Valentine's Day weekend at Viceroy Riviera Maya in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.

The guest list included Donovan Mitchell, Coco Jones, Jordan Clarkson, Jonathan Majors and Meagan Good. Hurd is also the goddaughter of DMX, and her walk down the aisle used a string arrangement of DMX's "X Gon' Give It to Ya" alongside the traditional Wedding March, which was performed by a live string ensemble and gospel choir.
The first dance was set to Whitney Houston's "I Believe in You and Me," and O'Neale later performed his own DJ set at the reception. That combination made the night feel less like a generic celebrity wedding and more like a tightly curated family event with a public guest list.

O'Neale said marriage means "choosing each other for life — a partner, a teammate, a home," and added that he and Hurd are looking forward to "building our life and our family together, and getting to call each other husband and wife every ordinary day." For a couple that had already gone public in 2024, the ceremony put a private timeline in public view without losing the personal tone.
That is the part worth watching: the wedding did not lean on spectacle alone. It connected an NBA player and an actress through a ceremony built around specific songs, a short guest list of familiar names and a reception that ended with O'Neale behind the DJ setup, not off to the side.
Oheka Castle in New York
Oheka Castle gave the marriage a formal setting, but the more revealing detail is how the couple described it afterward: not as a reset, but as continuity. If you are tracking this as a celebrity story, the useful takeaway is simple — the public now has a wedding date, a venue and a clear next chapter built around family rather than rollout.
