shake up the bride's nerves, and Solange Knowle's nuptials this past
weekend in New Orleans well didn't fail in that regard. Here's the
story of how Beyonce saved Solange's Wedding Day.
Sometime in between the bride and groom's bike ride through town on
vintage, cream-colored bicycles, Solange broke out in swollen, pale
red bumps covering her face. This was captured by prying paparazzi
lenses and splashed up on TMZ's home page, but seemed to have
disappeared by the time of the reception. And in a new interview, the
mother of the bride, Tina Knowles, explains what caused the momentary
outbreak and how Solange's sister came to the rescue.
"[Solange] went through the wedding and the sit-down dinner and she
was just fine," Tina Knowles told Entertainment Tonight, "and then
they had a second line in the streets of New Orleans and she was
dancing so hard, I think she just got overheated," Knowles explained.
Another possible factor in the outbreak: the couple's decision to dine
on traditional New Orleans cuisine including seafood. "I think she had
a reaction to it," Tina added.
Rather than panic, Beyoncé--apparently as much of a superhero in
medical situations as musical--"took [Solange] back to the hotel and
gave her Benadryl and cortisone creams. She took a shower and in two
hours, she showed up at the reception and did the dance with her son
and just had a ball." The bride also maintained a sense of humor about
the subject, later tweeting a "Shout out to Benadryl."
Because of Beyoncé's quick thinking, Solange was able to celebrate
well into the night, even continuing on to an after-party where the
aforementioned mother-son dance took place. And Tina Knowles was
careful to note that all children, including Bey and Jay Z's daughter,
Blue Ivy, were banned from the late-night festivities. "[Blue Ivy]
didn't get to come to the after party," Tina said. "[Solange's son]
only got to come and do the dance and then he had to leave. Had to go
to bed. It was a grown folks party."
