Various reports have confirmed that Shawn “Jay-Z” Carter and Beyonce Knowles did in fact get married on Friday, April 4th after 6 years of dating. The private ceremony went down at an undisclosed location in NYC and was followed by a reception at Jay’s Tribeca apartment complex.
Rumored Celebrity Guest included: Solange, Kelly and Michelle (of course), Kanye West, Gwenyth Paltrow and hubby Chris Martin and more. (Make sure to check some of the celebrity arrivals after the cut).
As many of you know, Jay & Bee hold the number 4 very close to their hearts. Remember that post we made about the tats they got late last year with the number 4 on their ring fingers? FYI: Jay-Z was born on December 4th, Beyonce was born on September 4th and they got married on April 4th 2008. Check out Miss Iinfo’s blog for more on that theory.
Congrats to the happy couple and hopefully we get to see some photos of the wedding soon!

“I was wrong and eventually realized that, in time to give full support for a state holiday in Arizona,” he said. “We can all be a little late sometimes in doing the right thing, and Dr. King understood this about his fellow Americans.”

Initially, I thought the whole Beyonce & Jay-Z wedding thing was another bogus rumor, but it looks like the star couple is actually going to tie the knot for real, for real.
Earlier this week, the couple took out a marriage license in Scarsdale, N.Y. and according to a People.com witness they were all smiles. I just received an email from The E-Biz and they claim to have info on the event, which is rumored to be taking place today (April 4th)..
