PHOTOS: Beyoncé and Jay-Z Toast 5th Wedding Anniversary in Cuba
The average fifth wedding anniversary is marked by gifts of wood and
silverware. For Beyoncé and Jay-Z, it's marked with international
jet-setting and fabulousness.
The couple was spotted walking the streets of Old Havana, Cuba, on Thursday. On the same day five years prior, the musical pair wed in an ultra-private ceremony at their Manhattan home.
With Bey's mother Tina in tow, the security-flanked group took in sights and greeted locals.
Jay looked every bit the vacationing mogul, rocking a Panama hat for their daytime tour, and later enjoying a brandy and a cigar at cocktail hour.
Bey, who today unveiled a snippet of her new single "Grown Woman" atop a Pepsi ad spot, rocked dramatic braids and a bold print romper.
While travel to Cuba is restricted by the U.S. government, various groups like artists and journalists are permitted access, as well as dignitaries and educators.
Bey and Jay had better soak up their quality time while they can get it. She heads off on her blockbuster international tour "The Mrs. Carter Show" come summer, while Jay will do a smaller national rollout with Justin Timberlake in support of "The 20/20 Experience."
No word on where their 1-year-old baby Blue Ivy will land on their various travel legs, but we know she's got a seat saved.

Beyoncé Knowles Opens Up About Miscarriage in New HBO Documentary
Beyonce Knowles (Getty Images)Get ready to see Beyoncé Knowles like you’ve never seen her before: as a real person."About two years ago, I was pregnant for the first time," Knowles reveals in an emotional scene. "I heard the heartbeat, which was the most beautiful music I ever heard in my life."
Beyoncé and her husband of nearly five years, Jay-Z, even started picking out baby names.
“I was feeling very maternal,” recalls the Grammy award-winning singer. "I envisioned what my child would look like.”
Unfortunately Knowles never got the chance to meet her child.
"I flew back to New York to get my check up -- and no heartbeat," she recalls during a raw, emotional moment. "Literally the week before I went to the doctor, everything was fine, but there was no heartbeat."
Beyoncé reveals that she dealt with the loss the best way she knew how: through her music.
"I went into the studio and wrote the saddest song I've ever written in my life. It was actually the first song I wrote for my album,” the 31-year-old singer says about the heartbreak. “It was the best form of therapy for me, because it was the saddest thing I've ever been through."
Jay-Z also referenced their heartbreak on the song "Glory," which he released shortly after Blue Ivy's birth. "False alarms and false starts/All made better by the sound of your heart" he raps in one lyric.
On January 7, 2012, Beyoncé and Jay-Z were blessed with their little girl, and the singer reveals how hard it was to keep the news under wraps.
Knowles' sonogram of Blue Ivy“They keep putting me in these tight clothes and trying to hide it,” she says at one point as an image of baby bump appears on screen. “It’s very difficult. I don’t know how I’m going to get through this.”
"Being pregnant was very much like falling in love," Knowles says. "You are so open. You are so overjoyed. There's no words that can express having a baby growing inside of you, so of course you want to scream it out and tell everyone."
“I always battle with how much do I reveal about myself,” Beyoncé asks in her “Life Is But a Dream” documentary. “People see celebrities, and they have money and fame, but I’m a human being. I cry. I get scared. I get nervous just like everyone else.”
