People: Beyoncé and Jay-Z Are Married!

solange knowles

Wow!  I can’t believe it really happened!  Beyoncé and Jay-Z have reportedly gotten married and I tend to trust the source since People magazine tends to accurate.  Though there is no official confirmation, a friend says, “It happened earlier this evening (yesterday). Jay wanted it to be a really private affair – close friends and family.”

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.

Can you believe it!?  I couldn’t find one picture of the happy couple but here are some shots of their guests (including sister, Solange Knowles, dad, Mathew Knowles and actress Gwyneth Paltrow). 

More after the jump!

    CONGRATS to them both. They have been very effective in keeping their romance under wraps and out of the limelight, hopefully they handle their marriage in the same fashion. Think of the future megastars they will be producing!!!!! LOL!

  2. Jasmine

    FINALLY!!! THIS GOING TO BE SO BEAUTIFUL. B AND JAY R SO ADORABLE, CANT WAIT FOR WEDDING PICS!!!
    ….BABIES NEXT…???

  3. b4real

    CONGRATS!!! now to all of the haters who said he would never marry her. i guess now they are eating their words. There are some pictures on mediatakeout.com and beyonceworld.net. Michelle’s dress is beautiful. Solange’s too, especially her shoes! I hope they sell the pictures. Just think about how much money they saved having a intimate wedding. That was smart.

    She said (Amanda) think of the future mega stars they will produce can you imagine how their kid will look? (lol) Not as pretty as B…
    But it is great that they were able to fine love in Hollywood the land of 50 first dates. I wish them the best.

  8. B4real

    Ni-$ – it’s not always true that kids will take the immediate genes from their parents. look at Solange’s son he looks just like Tina. If you look at Jay’s mother she is BEAUTIFUL. I think Jay and Bey will make a pretty babies. I just hope their first child is a girl I think Jay will be head over heels for a little Bey.

    What a POWER COUPLE! I hear they are hosting a coming out party at the heart of the city concert in HOuston. We will see.

  15. dayna

    I’d liketo congratulate couple on their recent nuptials. May GOD keep this union strong, prosperous, and loving. Always remember that communication is essential in all relationships. May God Bless You Two

  16. Shotgun Slim

    Beyonce marriage:
    1. B is knocked up already.
    2. The timing, the short notice, the location, the lack of a grand affair ( no preacher), the morning sickness look on her face, the funeral type aurra of the attendees…all indicate BEYONCE IS EXPECTING and she and Mr. Z had a shotgun wedding.

  17. Shotgun Slim

    …and God bless the new Mr. and Mrs. S. Carter may they have a long and loving marriage.

  18. B4real

    SS – supposedly the media witnessed a preacher entering Jay’s penthouse suite. Can you direct us to the picture of morning sickness?

    Just b/c the media wasn’t invited doesnot make it less grand but more intimate. Their not performing at a concert but saying their “I do’s” that should be honored, sacred & cherished amongst ones closest friends and family. That’s how it should be!. If she is pregnant, then I’m even happier for her.

  19. Ni Money

    B4eal said Jay’s mother is beautiful but we must admit that the ugly gene took over with Jay and his sister. And his nephew looks like him…
    However I am a fan of them both I just like to keep it real on this and you never know they may have a beautiful child or not so (lol)
    Whoever said she’s knocked up already I do doubt that.

  20. Shady. U. BEEZZIE

  21. Mohagany black

  26. Beyonce Doesn’t Deny Marriage to Jay-Z

    [...] recently said of the secret wedding last month: “I don’t deny it (the wedding). I just don’t talk about it. [...]

  27. B4real

    She was not talking about the wedding, she was talking about the relationship in general. This story is 2 years old.

  28. Affiong Pius
