Beyonce And Jay-Z Reportedly Wed In Lavish Celebrity Affair

Still no official confirmation, but hip-hop super couple Jay-Z and Beyonce Knowles reportedly wed Friday in New York City with a reception at Jay-Z's New York apartment. A white tent was placed on the roof and van loads of flowers and candelabras were photographed going in. The couple took out a marriage license on Tuesday in Scarsdale.

From People:

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 Beyoncé'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.

Here is a picture of Gwyneth arriving Friday night, more here, dressed in white, like all the guests.

A Reverend and his wife were spotted going inside Jay-Z's New York City apartment building at 8 p.m., according to an Usmagazine.com eyewitness.

TMZ liveblogged the late afternoon and evening, including deliveries and celebrity arrivals.

More from the NY Post:

Earlier in the day, bunches of white lilies, 5-foot-tall silver candelabras and a rolled-up, long white runner were delivered to Jay-Z's Hudson Street building.

Audio-video equipment and other party supplies also arrived, as a huge white canopy was erected atop Jay-Z's building late yesterday afternoon.

A constant stream of delivery trucks from Associated Cut Flowers Company made their way throughout the day from Manhattan's Flower District to Jay-Z's building...

"Entertainment Tonight" reported that the bride's dressing room had been set up in Jay-Z's building's gym, and that the groom-to-be stocked his refrigerator with champagne to serve about 30 guests.

Because Crabby sadly couldn't be at the swank affair, she did the next best thing: she looked into the marriage's future with the help of the stars. And I'm sorry to say that if you believe in this stuff, the marriage between this Virgo (her) and Sagitarius (him) looks exciting and passionate though not necessarily permanent.

WHO GIVES A CRAP! These talentless idiots deserve each other, meanwhile, the US is going down the tubes! People are losing their houses, jobs, etc. while these boring, spoiled, talentless wonders wed. I give it two years tops. Now can we PLEASE get back to the real topics of news and stop with these fake, phony people taking all of the media attention? These people are nobodies to me, and most people in the US.

[LAknowwhere]

and i think this is proof that women don't marry for looks.

[spl]

Amen!

Kentay - there is no way you can use handsome, nor good looking and Jay Z in the same sentence. He is effing UGLY MONKEY !

Beyonce dressed like a high priced prostitute. And in that context, they are quite right for each other. Regardless of their gazillions - Beyonce is a first class hooker, and Jay Z is a first class hood ! They belong together. Matched made in heaven. Congrats !

[kentay305]

compared to brittney, lohan, nichole ritchie, hilton... shes doing just fine...

::sounding like mr mackey on south park...:::
DRUGS ARE BAD M'KAY...

[LAknowwhere]

good for them. A true power couple, and both super talented.

[applebell]

Wishing them the best .......

Will be interesting to clock how long this union lasts. Anybody remember Whitney and Bobby? How about Liza and David? They assured us theirs was pure, eternal love. (Watching Liza/David being interviewed on Larry King Undead was a treasured television moment for anyone with ghoulish tastes.) And why bother? In a year or so, no decent mall rat will be able to identify Jay Z or Beyonce; it's the nature of pop culture. This drivel distracts attention from things like foreclosures, taxpayer bailout of Wall Street biggies.

But these two have their heads on straight. They will last for awhile. You could learn from them, workingboy.

[melann830]

Is she pregnant? No offense. But she must be. Especially no big wedding for two people who like to live large. Something is very strange here. I don't know if it will last, but either way, like Kimora, she will survive and flourish.

[Madampotential]

Beyonce Knowles mentioned in an interview a few years ago that she wanted a small wedding so I am not surprised that she kept it small and private. They have been together for six years so I don't think this will be one of those typical Hollyweird weddings.... Congrats to them!!!

[strifeknot]

Yuck, she can do better than that. Me! Me, Beyonce, me!

[jaschrod]

The beauty, and the beast.

[who38]

The beauty and the brain.

[klmebane]

if beyonce was a lesbian i'd be all over that.

[Raisean]

Finally!

[huffhuffpass]

"You think you getting "girls girls girls girls, girls all over the world" because of your looks?

[ipitombi]

As long as "celebrities" continue to get married, divorce attorneys will never be out of work.
Congratulations to the happy couple. Needless to say, it's downhill from hereon.

[Rendon76]

Disgusting.

[ang4ever]

So sudden marriage ! It could have not been an accident . It's probably to please her fans.

LMAO - see photos of the bride and groom at their honeymoon ! SHOCKING ? Not really.

Beyonce is probably PREGO ! If you know Beyonce, she dresses like a high price prostitute. She freely shows her entire body and those belly buttons. Lately she has been putting a lot of weight. Look at those arms and her belly bump. She's fully clothes on the beach ! She's covering her belly. Why is that ?

In any event, I don't find that disgusting. It's about time ! Congrats!

[kentay305]

with out without the weight...she can get it at any given time... woman is beautiful airbrushed or not...

[woundedduck]

I'm sure the two stars love each other for their unique qualities as human beings, and that they won't be divorced within 24 months.

[peachfuzz]

All the guests were dressed in white for a wedding?

[BlackMagicWoman]

Congrats to them! Hov put on a hell of a show in Philly (but Miss Mary J Blige was the star that night!)
