Beyoncé and Jay-Z went to the Bahamas for a wedding—just nottheir own. Instead, the couple were among 25 friends and family members who gathered at the Old Bahama Bay Resort on Feb. 27 for the sunset wedding of Beyoncé's 17-year-old sister Solange. The lucky guy? Daniel Smith, 19, a football player at Texas Southern University in Houston, his and Solange's hometown.

Mom Tina, 50, came to the rescue, gathering conch shells for the bridal party to carry. Later, as guests dined on steak and a three-tier wedding cake, bridesmaid Beyoncé, 22, toasted the newlyweds.
