Beyonce Knowles thinks weddings are overrated

Beyonce has revealed that she kept her wedding to rapper Jay-Z secret because she wanted to ‘cherish’ the commitment of marriage.

New Delhi, Feb 13: Beyonce Knowles has revealed that she kept her wedding to rapper Jay-Z secret because she wanted to ‘cherish’ the commitment of marriage rather than the big day itself.

"I think that people can put way too much emphasis on the day. It`s just so temporary and it goes away in a second. And then you have this commitment you made, and I don`t know if people cherish it as much as they should," she said. Beyonce, who tied the knot with Jay-Z in a secret ceremony last April, has admitted that she never wanted a big wedding because she likes to keep it personal, reports China Daily. "I`ve never been the girl who went to a wedding and thought, `Oooh, I want to get married.` So I didn`t want something big and dramatic,” she told Britain`s Cosmopolitan magazine. “That doesn`t mean it was anticlimactic or anything, but I think it`s good to be somebody who thinks about the reality of things," she added.
