Only their parents and a few close friends knew the real plan before arriving at their New York City home on April 4, 2008.
Beyoncé said they intentionally kept the event small and private, skipping the traditional high-profile wedding.
She also highlighted the significance of her wedding dress, which was personally designed by her mother, Tina Knowles.
She said wearing her mother’s creation was far more meaningful than wearing a famous designer gown.
Beyoncé described the one-of-a-kind dress as “gorgeously simple and made with her love.”
