After a long time of speculating on when Beyonce would be walking down the aisle, the long wait has finally over. According to the couple’s friend, they married last Friday night on a very solemn and very private affair only for close friends and family. The ceremony was followed by a lavish and exquisitely grand party at Jay-Z’s Tribeca apartment. The wedding buzz began when the couple went to get a marriage license at a village hall in Scarsdale, N.Y., on Tuesday. 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. Some of the guests were Beyonce’s sister Solange, her mother Tina, Gwyneth Paltrow, Kelly Rowland, Michelle Williams and the bride’s dad Mathew Knowles.
