Source: Beyoncé and Jay-Z Take Out Marriage License

I hear that it is a hoax. I hear that Ashton Kutcher's production van was in the vicinity. If it is indeed a hoax, then Beyonce and Jay-Z are lame...
 

We Are Sooooo Not Buying It

Please refresh for the latest updates!

Tongues are wagging all over that Jay-Z and Beyonce are getting married RIGHT NOW -- check out all the camera crews! Things don't add up for us though -- we say don't believe the hype! On the other hand, flower arrangements were delivered this morning. Hmm, maybe it's for someone else's wedding...(check out those wedding guests!)

UPDATE 5:39 PM ET: Here's a pic of Tina Knowles taken just minutes ago.

UPDATE 5:47 PM ET: Tina -- in all her casual glory -- just arrived at the building. And we just spoke with another resident of the building, who tells us they were aware of a "party" tonight on the roof, but wouldn't say much more than that.

UPDATE 6:08 PM ET: TMZ just spotted Beyonce's father Matthew Knowles, wearing slacks and a suit jacket and wheeling a rolly bag, walking into the Bloomberg building in Midtown.

UPDATE 6:21 PM ET: Now we're told Jay-Z's mom arrived with Beyonce's mother in the same ride. Interesting.

UPDATE: 6:23 PM ET: Jay-Z's Maybach (insanely expensive) is en route. It left from Jigga's other apartment in Midtown. Don't know who's in it.

UPDATE: 6:27 PM ET: There's a buzz they already got married (you think so?) and that what you're looking at is the site of the reception. Just passing it along, folks.

UPDATE 6:48 PM ET: We've just got these snaps looking onto Jay-Z's roof. Check out all the garbage! And who are those guys, caterers, the band, groomsmen?

UPDATE 6:57 PM ET: TMZ just shot Jay-Z's mother Gloria Carter at the Bloomberg building (where we just saw Matthew Knowles) wearing a formal white dress. We got Beyonce's sister Solange there too-- also wearing white!

UPDATE 7:39 PM ET: Kelly Rowland has just arrived -- wearing a white dress!

UPDATE 7:48 PM ET: OMG. Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin just arrived!

UPDATE 7:58 PM ET: Matthew Knowles -- B's dad -- just drove in, wearing a silver jacket.

UPDATE 8:03 PM ET: Beyonce's baby sis Solange just showed up.

UPDATE 10:41 PM ET: We know, we know. Live stream went out. We suck. BUT we're still there, outside the apartment ... and there really aren't any updates! We just spoke with a driver who told us an interesting tidbit. All of the drivers were hired for an event (they didn't know what) three days ago, but TODAY they were told that the event was off. THEN, this afternoon, they were told it was back ON. But the drivers don't really have much info on anything-- they're all circling the block waiting for instruction from security. Another interesting item-- no cell phones are allowed inside. The drivers are all carrying their clients' phones, waiting for them to come out.
 
Beyoncé & Jay-Z's Wedding Party?

Wedding license in hand, Beyoncé and Jay-Z threw an elaborate party Friday night with orchids and candelabras, and invited everybody closest to them – family members, Destiny Child partners Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams, and celebrity friends.

The only question was whether they had become husband and wife. The only vow for certain was the one for silence, as the cause for the célébre at Jay-Z's New York City apartment was wrapped in secrecy.

If it weren't a wedding or a reception, it sure had all the trappings of one. Consider the guest list: Beyoncé's mother Tina Knowles, her father/manager Mathew, her sister Solange, her Destiny Child mates Rowland and Williams, and Jay-Z's friends Gwyneth Paltrow and her husband Chris Martin.

They all arrived amid heavy wedding buzz that began when the couple went to get a marriage license at a village hall in Scarsdale, N.Y., on Tuesday. "It's [happening] tonight," says a source. "A lot of their friends are booking hotel rooms."

DJ Cassidy, a favorite of Jay-Z, was hired to spin – and the gig was no bar mitzvah. "Cassidy mentioned a week ago that he was really excited for the Jay Z and Beyoncé wedding party to happen," says a source.

Early Friday morning, workers erected a white tent atop the building, 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.

^yeah, their not gonna do all that for Ashton :nogood:. EDIT: and if they did, yes they would be VERY LAME.

I wanna know what happened! Was it just a big party? Did they really go through with it?
 
According to popsugar.com they def got married last night...


"Congrats to Beyonce and Jay-Z who tied the knot tonight in NYC. We've been watching the details unfold as tents went up and flowers arrived, followed by guests for the big event. The marriage license was put to good use, as the Bonnie and Clyde of '03 have become husband and wife. Jay-Z and Beyonce wed at his Tribeca apartment with family and close friends including Gwyneth and Chris Martin. Jay-Z has a show in North Carolina tomorrow night so the honeymoon may be on hold but knowing these two, they'll be living it up this summer in some fabulous destination."
