WEDDING DETAILS
It was the most blinging R&B wedding of the decade, as Beyonce became Mrs Jay-Z.
And with an all-white theme of white roses, orchids, diamond-encrusted candelabras and a plush Egyptian cotton-lined marquee, Bey and Jay made romance their No.1 priority - once they'd frisked his rapper buddies for guns and blades, that is.
The couple, who have been together for six years, finally tied the knot during a private ceremony in New York in front of family and A-list pals, including Gwyneth Paltrow, Chris Martin and Destiny Child members Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams.
Guests were instructed to leave mobile phones and cameras at home - and Bey's family insisted a burly security team frisked any lesser-knowns.
Happily, Gwynnie made it through unscathed! But three guns were left in an amnesty box outside Jay-Z's Tribeca apartment. Who said romance was dead, eh?
One wedding guest is quoted by MediaTakeOut.com as saying: "There was literally so much food! We had seven courses in total, including belugacaviar, shrimp scampi and buckets of Popeye's Fried Chicken."
We're told: "It was such a romantic evening. Beyonce's mum had been chief wedding planner and spent nearly £750,000 on decor and flowers, making sure everything was all-white on the night." And, of course, all the guests sported the colour - no doubt using lots of napkins as they tucked into their sitdown dinner! Jay-Z, 38, real name Shawn Carter, then made an emotional speech praising his Bootylicious bride and jerking a tear from Gwynnie.
And Bey, 26, serenaded her new husband by singing a Natasha Bedingfield inspired ditty, with the words: "I love you, I love you, I love you."
When the disco started and the newlyweds' hit Crazy In Love came on, Bey performed a raunchy dance for Jay. And the couple made a dash for their crystalfilled bedroom just before midnight...
Adds our source: "Beyonce had imposed a no-sex rule three weeks ahead of the ceremony."
