Beyonce Knowles refused to publish snaps of her wedding to Jay-Z, because she wanted to keep their union private.

Knowles married the hip-hop star in a secret ceremony earlier this year.

She was bombarded with lucrative offers from glossy magazine to cover the event - but she turned them all down.

She says, "Now, they offer crazy money that's just ridiculous. But in the end, absolutely not. It's so not worth it. If anything, if you wanna put something out, then put it out, not for (money)."

"We worked really hard at keeping it private. I've always been this way, and he's always been this way, so that's why we complement each other. We always knew that it would be private and quiet, for all the right reasons."
