Dwyane Wade is actually on the hunt for two types of rings this summer: his fourth NBA championship ring and, of course, a wedding ring. Apparently, one isn’t necessarily taking precedence over the other at the moment.

It shouldn’t be much of a surprise that a man who meticulously plans his wardrobe and pulled off a romantic proposal would take over planning the wedding. Plus, Wade doesn’t seem to care so much for traditional gender stereotypes. He’s got three championship rings. You don’t. He’s also got Gabrielle Union, which you certainly don’t either.
Other details about the wedding haven’t quite emerged, but the, uh, union is expected to happen sometime during the off-season.
