Beyoncé and Jay-Z are getting married - Aug 25, 2020
Beyoncé Knowles and Jay-Z are reportedly set to marry in a lavish $3 million ceremony in late November. The wedding will allegedly take place on the Caribbean island of Anguilla.

A source is quoted on website MSNBC as saying: "Beyoncé has been telling friends it will be ’the wedding to end all weddings.’ "She feels like she’s living a fairy tale so why shouldn’t her wedding be equally magical?" One tenth of the massive cost will be spent on $300,000 worth of Beluga caviar alone. Beyoncé, who went on a liquid-only diet for her latest film role, also plans to feast on lobster.

The bride and groom and their guests will only drink Dom Perignon champagne, as rapper Jay-Z has boycotted Cristal because of remarks made against the hip-hop community by the company’s managing director Federic Rouzard. Oprah Winfrey and UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan are said to be among the stars on the guest list.

However, it is rumoured that Beyoncé’s father and manager, Matthew Knowles, has not given his blessing to the wedding. He allegedly does not approve of his daughter’s relationship with the rap mogul and does not think it is good for her image.

Biography

Beyonce Giselle Knowles was born on September 4 1981 in Houston, Texas. She made her name as one third of Destiny’s Child, a band which she originally formed as a child. A string of hits including Bills Bills Bills, Survivor, Independent Women and Lose My Breath made the girls household names and solo stardom soon beckoned.

Beyonce’s solo album Dangerously in Love and debut single Crazy in Love shot her to solo stardom and made her one of the most recognised divas in pop. The album won her a record-breaking five Grammy Awards and her single and album also topped the UK and US charts simultaneously.

With a handful of forays on to the big screen Beyonce can also lay claim to the title of Actress. But while Austin Powers in Goldmember might have been a success her follow ups, The Fighting Temptations and The Pink Panther have not had the Oscars beckoning. Whether her part in anticipated music flick Dreamgirls will see a change in opinion remains to be seen.

Rapper Jay-Z has been Beyonce’s long term squeeze since they worked together on his hit single 03 Bonnie & Clyde and are reported to be heading up the aisle soon after the release of her next album B-Day.
