However, shortly after recording Bonnie and Clyde, rumors began surfacing that the two artists were romantically involved. The two denied all rumors of dating for awhile.

But on April 4, 2008, the couple was reported to have been married. And although they been very tight lipped about their relationship, the public managed to catch on to theirwedding plans.

Jay-Z married Beyonce Knowles at his 13,500-square foot penthouse apartment in New York’s Tribeca neighborhood. The couple exchanged vows in front of 40 friends, all of whom were asked to wear white to the ceremony, including Gwyneth Paltrow, Chris Martin and Kelly Rowland.

Beyonce wore a long white gown, with low v- neck and thick straps, designed by her mother, Tina Knowles. Her hair was pulled up in a half ponytail with ringlet curls and a white flower behind her ear. Jay-Z wore a black tuxedo and was spotted smoking expensive cigars throughout the evening.

The couple chose the 4/4 wedding date for its special significance to them; both of their birthdays fall on the fourth day of the month, and they met in 2002, which adds up to four. The couple also have matching IV tattoos on their ring fingers.

Following the ceremony, a reception was held in the groom’s living room. Florist Amy Vongpitaka of Amy’s Orchids flew in 70,000 white dendrobium orchids from Thailand for the occasion. Guests feasted on appetizers like caviar, shrimp scampi and fried chicken, followed by a seven-course meal at tables decorated with silver candelabras. To ensure privacy, Beyonce and her family cooked much of the food themselves. The bride made her famous Creole, and Jay-Z’s grandmother cooked oxtails.
