People - Beyonce & Jay-Z Are Married |
Posted By: admin On Friday, April 4th, 2008 at 11:37 pm

After years of speculation, singer Beyoncé Knowles wed her longtime boyfriend, rapper Jay-Z, on Friday, a friend of the couple tells PEOPLE.

Though there is no official confirmation, the friend says, “It happened earlier this evening. Jay wanted it to be a really private affair - close friends and family.”

The ceremony was followed by a lavish party at the rapper’s Tribeca apartment that drew BeyoncĂ©’s mother Tina Knowles, her father/manager Mathew, her sister Solange, her Destiny’s Child mates Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams, and the couple’s friend Gwyneth Paltrow.

The wedding buzz began when the couple went to get a marriage license at a village hall in Scarsdale, N.Y., on Tuesday.

DJ Cassidy, a favorite of Jay-Z, was hired to spin - and the gig was no bar mitzvah. “Cassidy mentioned a week ago that he was really excited for the Jay Z and BeyoncĂ©’s wedding party to happen,” says the friend.

Early Friday morning, workers erected a white tent atop the building in Tribeca, where Jay-Z owns a penthouse apartment. Not long after, an SUV carrying what seemed to be AV equipment arrived, followed by deliveries of party rentals and flowers.

A source tells PEOPLE that Amy’s Orchids was hired to provide 50,000 to 60,000 white orchid blooms from Thailand for a “big party.” At the apartment, waiters were seen practicing their service.

A couple since 2002, Jay-Z, 38, and Knowles, 26, always kept quiet about their relationship, even as they were photographed together on romantic holidays around the world.

Still, marriage seemed to be in the cards - eventually. “I never pictured myself as a bride,” she told Cosmopolitan in January 2006, “but after my sister’s wedding, I did start thinking about what kind of wedding I’d want. I don’t think I want a big one.”

Aww, if this is definately true, I am so happy for them! I’m glad they wanted to keep the wedding small (less oppertunity for diaster), but it sounded great. If pictures leak, I probably won’t look it them, to respect their privacy.

I’m happy for them. I hope their marriage is a good one. I just hope they don’t ever get a divorce. Then it would make them seem like those celebrities that get married and can’t stay with anyone and ik B is better then that. But good luck Beyonce!

mimi, this is a BEYONCE site, where we talk about BEYONCE, not the other ‘bigger issues’ which are going on in the world. There are other places to talk about those things.

There have been rumours going around that Bee is pregnant, Leyla. I don’t believe them, personally, I will if there is proof, of course.

I agree with Leyla, we shouldn’t get our hopes up for Bee to have a baby. It would be inconvienent, considering she’s going to release her new album, this year, is it?
