Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson and pop star Ciara moved their wedding from North Carolina to England, due to the state's law that requires transgender people to use bathrooms based on their sex designated at birth, as opposed to the facility that matches their gender identity.

Wilson and Ciara's wedding planner, Mindy Weiss, confirmed the reason for the move Monday.

"They were first getting married in North Carolina, but they called it off due to the transgender bathroom laws," Weiss said to Esther Lee of TheKnotNews.com.

The power couple ended up getting married at the Peckforton Castle in Cheshire, England.

"We ended up in London," Weiss said. "They wanted to be away. And we found a castle that was an hour out of Liverpool and they had about 110 guests."
