Beyoncé and Jay Z interrupt wedding in Italy

Los Angles - Beyoncé and Jay Z accidentally gate-crashed a wedding in Portofino, Italy over the weekend.

The world famous couple - around whom there continue to be rumours of marital strife - walked into a church to unexpectedly find they were interrupting the nuptials of the soon-to-be husband and wife.

However, fortunately for Jay and Beyoncé, the newlyweds took kindly to their unexpected arrival, inviting them to pose for pictures and generally joking around with the two music superstars.

Beyoncé was certainly not dressed for the occasion, as she wore a bikini top and a straw hat, which she teamed with a pair of casual sunglasses.

However, for the bride, the presence of one of the world's most recognisable faces made her day even more special, as she was seen beaming from ear to ear.

Since then, Jay and Beyoncé have headed to the French Riviera, with snaps of them together suggesting they remain a happy couple.
