You know that a marraige is off to a good start when there's a gun-check alongside the coat-check at the celebration. The celebrity parents on the guest list were expected to leave the children at home, but apparently the bridal couple fully - and correctly - anticipated that some of the other guests would read the 'plus one' notation on their invite as 'plus GUN.'

According to the UK's Daily Mirror:

Bey and Jay made romance their No.1 priority (at their wedding this past weekend) - once they'd frisked his rapper buddies for guns and blades, that is.

The couple, who have been together for six years, finally tied the knot during a private ceremony in New York in front of family and A-list pals, including Gwyneth Paltrow, Chris Martin and Destiny Child members Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams.

Guests were instructed to leave mobile phones and cameras at home - and Bey's family insisted a burly security team frisked any lesser-knowns. Happily, Gwynnie made it through unscathed! But three guns were left in an amnesty box outside Jay-Z's Tribeca apartment. Who said romance was dead, eh?

Who brings guns to a wedding, for seriously? Also, who would seriously consider that Gwyneth Paltrow doesn't pack a gun? A blade, I can sorta see, but not a gun.
