In a word, Tina Knowles's recent wedding
to actor Richard Lawson was flawless.
"It couldn't have been more
perfect," Tina, 61, tells PEOPLE in an exclusive interview about her big
day.
The pair said "I do"
aboard a yacht in Newport Beach, California, on April 12, surrounded by close
friends and family, including daughters Solange and Beyoncé and their husbands,
Jay Z and Alan Ferguson.
Other guests included Kelly Rowland
and Michelle Williams of Destiny's Child; Lawson's kids, Bianca and Richard II;
and Samuel L. Jackson.
Grandkids Blue Ivy, 3, and Julez
(Solange's 10-year-old son) were the flower girl and ring bearer.
"To walk down the aisle and
see all my friends and family and to see my handsome man standin' there, and to
know that at 61 you can still find love and have a magical day like that … it
was really beautiful," says the bride, who wore a dress by Romona Keveza
and walked down the aisle to India.Arie'sReady for Love."
While she has some chart-topping
musicians in the family, they didn't perform because "we didn't want them
to work," she says. "We wanted them to enjoy the day and not have the
pressure of it."
Tina and Richard, 68, have known
each other for three decades, but only just rekindled their connection a year
and a half ago: Within four months, she says, she knew "this is somebody
that I could really spend the rest of my life with."
After finalizing her divorce from
Matthew Knowles in 2011, "There was a time when I doubted if I would find
love again," says Tina. "But I was determined to be happy."
Sharing her wedding day with the
world, the matriarch hopes to inspire others.
"It was important to me to
have a wedding and walk in white, because sometimes we feel that at a certain
age you should act a certain way," she says. "You can find love at
any age. You just have to go for it."
