Aside from having the same mother and father, Beyonce and Solange Knowles share the same preference when it comes to the men they married. They like their men old and seasoned.
Solange Knowles, 28 married Alan Ferguson, 51. That’s right Ferguson is 23 years her senior. The couple married privately in front of 200 family and friends in New Orleans, LA.
While, Knowles definitely seems very mature for her age, is it appropriate for her to marry a man that falls in the same age range as her mother and father? Beyonce married a more mature Jay Z at 26 and he was 38.
While speculation flooded the internet some reports were right on the money. The couple began their wedding weekend with a special movie screening of Mahogany starring Diana Ross. This event was commemorative of their first date. The private screening was held at Indywood Cinema. It was reported that this event was “adorable.”
Ferguson, who works as a director, has worked with both Jay Z and Beyonce over the years directing videos including “Party and “Dance For You.” He also directed Jay Z’s “Feelin it” a video released in 1996, when Solange was just 10 years old.
The Knowles-Ferguson wedding was held at the Maringy Opera House, and it seemed everything but traditional. It was reported that they arrived on vintage white bicycles and Knowles bouquet of white roses was in the bike’s basket.

According to people.com, “Solange wore a white caped jumpsuit with a loose ‘fro and Ferguson wore a white suit without a tie. “
The Carters including Jay Z and Blue were in attendance, their mother Tina Knowles and even Janelle Monae was one of the bridesmaids. There was no mention of their father Matthew Knowles.
“Luckily, I dated all of the losers ages ago,” Solange said in an interview with Harper’s Bazaar earlier this year. “My love life has been stable for a while. It’s a f–cked up thing … without conflict it’s a lot harder to write interesting songs.”
This is marriage number two for Solange Knowles. She was previously married to producer Daniel Smith of Houston Texas. If Solange has found love in a mature place there is nothing wrong with that. We are reel excited for her.
Congratulations Mrs. Ferguson!
What do you think? Is Ferguson too old?
