There Were Tears
In 2008, a guest who attended the couple’s wedding told PEOPLE magazine, “It was a very emotional wedding—lots of crying—and really very spiritual.”

No Bridal Party
While it would have been easy for either the bride or groom to select a best man or maid of honor, the couple chose not to have a traditional bridal party on their big day.

Flower Power
To pull off a heavenly affair, Queen Bey had 70,000 white dendrobium orchids (her favorite flowers) flown in from Thailand.

Everybody On the Dance Floor
Neither of the two star singers chose to perform on their big day. Instead they joined guests on the dance floor to sway to old school hip hop and R&B tunes.

Keep The Party Going.
A source told PEOPLE magazine at the time that the couple’s wedding reception party lasted until close to 5.am

Gabby and Dwayne Weren’t The First…
