I'm not the kind to spread rumours but I get a call from my NY connect and he tells me that the word on the street and in the corridors of the entertainment industry is that Jay-Z and Beyonce were to get married this past Friday. Ordinarily, rumours of their impending marriage have been flying since they began dating so with apologies to my connect, I didn't believe him.
However, my cousin who works as a wardrobe planner at the House of Dereon sent me an e-mail that she heard at her office that Hov' and B had "let the necessary occur" at a very private wedding ceremony. I didn't know what to believe until I ran into this article quoted below which I culled from msn.com

It appears that Jay-Z and Beyonce have finally tied the knot.
There was a swirl of activity Friday at the rap mogul's Tribeca apartment. Delivery trucks funneled in and out of the building, dropping off silver candelabras and white flowers. A white tent was set up on the roof, and stars including Beyonce's former Destiny's Child bandmates, Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams, along with Gwyneth Paltrow, were spotted arriving.
A swarm of media camped outside the building was in a state of frenzy, snapping and shouting at any sport-utility vehicle that drove down the cobblestone street.
The Web sites of celebrity magazines People and Us Weekly reported the couple married and threw a lavish but small party at the apartment Friday, citing unnamed sources who are friends with the pair. The Web sites reported their families attended the party.
Rumors circulated all week about the event after a report that the couple had taken out a marriage license in Scarsdale, N.Y. Representatives for Beyonce Knowles and Jay-Z declined to comment on reports ahead of the event. Jay-Z's publicist had no comment Saturday.
The couple, who have apparently been dating for six years, have never publicly acknowledged they are together. Knowles, 26, and Jay-Z, 38, whose real name is Shawn Carter, have collaborated on the songs "03 Bonnie and Clyde" and "Crazy In Love."

If it's indeed true, then I wish 'em the best of luck in the instiution of marriage and I hope they have beautiful kids and stay together longer than Will and Jada.
