After eighteen years, Beyoncé is finally sharing insights into her wedding to Jay-Z.
The pair tied the knot in 2008 during a private, secluded ceremony.
The Crazy in Love singer is now speaking openly about that special day.
In a chat with i-D magazine, she revealed that her favourite gown was the one designed by her mother, describing it as beautifully simple and imbued with her mother’s affection.
She added that donning something her mother crafted carried substantial meaning for the celebration, even more than any designer dress.
She explained that their festivities were intimate and low-key.
We had a very small wedding in our home, she said. We told guests we were hosting a party, and no one knew they were coming for a wedding except our parents and a few close friends.
The couple first crossed paths in 1999 and eventually married in 2008. They are parents to Blue Ivy, who is 14, and nine-year-old twins Rumi and Sir.
Her remarks come as Jay-Z’s docuseries has dropped on HBO Max.
In September, the rapper shared that he was excited for his family to see his life unfold on screen, telling E! News that he was looking forward to their reaction. “I’m really excited,” he said. “They know these things. We talk all the time. It’ll be fascinating to see on a big screen, and at times I know it’ll be, like, cringe.”
“You know, when you put yourself out there like that,” he added, “you get embarrassed.”
