But down to the most important details: how did Solange's nuptials relate to her famous sister, Beyoncé? Reports the New York Times,"He Also Put a Ring on It":
- "Ms. Knowles, the younger sister of Beyoncé Knowles, wrote music for Destiny's Child, her sister's former group."
- "The bride's father is a former Xerox sales representative; as the founder and president of Music World Entertainment, he was the manager of Destiny's Child and, for a time, his daughter Beyoncé."
- "The bride's mother ran a beauty salon before becoming stylist and choreographer for Destiny's Child."
- "Mr. Ferguson, 51, is a videographer and director of music videos who works with Beyoncé and her husband, Jay-Z, Katy Perry and others."
- "Ms. Knowles and Mr. Ferguson were first seen together in public in 2008 at an art gallery. They kept their relationship quiet but were spotted at various music functions and at a party with Jay-Z and Beyoncé."
Beyoncé arrived at the wedding 15 minutes after the bride and groom and "cradled Blue Ivy" outside the church.
Her sister reportedly wore a caped Kenzo wedding dress designed by Humberto Leon. The entire wedding party, which included Beyoncé, Beyoncé's mother Tina, and Janelle Monae, was photographed for Vogue.
Reports the New York Daily News, "The second biggest wedding in Knowles family history was a rousing success."
