Inside the Beyonce and Jay-Z wedding

It was the blinging R&B wedding of the decade but no guns allowed, as Beyonce became Mrs Jay-Z.

The private ceremony was followed by a lavish party at the rapper’s Tribeca apartment 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 Beyonce’s family insisted a burly security team frisked any lesser-knowns.
Supposedly three guns were left in an amnesty box outside Jay-Z’s Tribeca apartment. Who said romance was dead, eh?

And it was an all-white theme of white roses, orchids, diamond-encrusted candelabras and a plush Egyptian cotton-lined marquee.

A source said: “It was such a romantic evening. Beyonce’s mom had been chief wedding planner and spent nearly $1.5 million on decor and flowers, making sure everything was all-white on the night.” And, of course, all the guests sported the color.

The couple, who have been together for six years, finally tied the knot and afterward, Jay-Z, 38, real name Shawn Carter, then made an emotional speech praising his lovely bride.
And Beyonce 26, serenaded her new husband by singing a Natasha Bedingfield inspired tune, with the words: “I love you, I love you, I love you.”

When the disco started with DJ Cassidy, a favorite of Jay-Z, doing the spining, and the newlyweds’ hit Crazy In Love came on, Beyonce performed a raunchy dance for Jay.

And the newlyweds made a dash for their crystal filled bedroom just before midnight.
Adds the source: “Beyonce had imposed a no-sex rule three weeks ahead of the ceremony.”
