The Mr. & Mrs. Bigga Wrap Up

Cornerofbeyonce.com
After all was said and done, a highly credible source, who is a well known fashion stylist, dished a few details very early this morning to TheYBF.com from inside Jay-Z and Beyonce’s “wedding” festivities. So much for that “no cell phones were allowed” rumor. We’re told that the Mrs. wore an enchantingly gorgeous custom made gown that was shipped in from Paris. About the beaming bride Beyonce and the decor, the source says:
…she was glowing the whole night. The set up was amazing and had a lot of flowers and candles. It was really a site to see.
I know everything was pure fabulosity…tents and all. TheYBF.com followed Bigga Wedding Watch 2008 all day and all night yesterday to provide the fabulous readers with the most up-to-the-minute pressing info and YBF exclusives. And if you missed it, catch all the fall out in these posts: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. We still don’t have an official confirmation of wedded bliss from either of the lovebirds’ reps, but it was fun times indeed. I do feel a bit slighted that one of my fave celeb couples got hitched in extra secret privacy, but it is what it is.
Alicia Keys has given her congrats to the couple:
“All the best wishes possible, and I think that love is beautiful and when you love somebody, just let it shine and shine bright.”
Source
And check this quote from Jay-Z from back in September ‘07 during his 40/40 Club Press Conference in Vegas. While speaking, he was asked about his plans to marry his longtime girlfriend Beyonce:
“A wedding will be sooner rather than later, though…but it will be kept a private serious celebration for our very closest family and friends. When it does happen, we’ll keep it very quiet. When we read these news reports about hiding tattoos under wedding rings, we laughed together and said, ‘uh huh, another wild one—put it with the other 80,000.’”
{Thanks CherylInMiami}
Looks like none of this wedding hoopla was random after all. And after this weekend’s events, I guess his dynasty’s complete. Congrats to the newlyweds!

if you look at candid pics of them in the airport etc.. since December .. they’ve both kept their left hands in thier pockets …
i think they’ve been planning this for a long while.
getting your marriage license 1-2 weeks before the wedding is actually normal procedure, so for people to say they “rushed”–thats not true.

Anyways, congrats to the Carters… the king and queen of hip hop!

THE WHOLE 4/4 THING ITS CHEESY DIDNT THINK THEY WOULD SOMETHING LIKE THAT CORNY!! BUT WHEN YOURE IN LOVE, CORNY IS OK. I WONT BE SURPRISED IF SHES PREGNANT, THIS WOULD EXPLAIN EVERYTHING.

I’am so happy for them! It’s about damn time. Ybf, yall have the best updates! I get the feeling we won’t see any wedding pics until the next ceromony in May. I think they had something quick and small because they wanted to marry on a certain date and the May 4 date will be more exclusive.

No mas!!!…lol we can finally move on from this. Wish they’d just make it an official confirmation so everyone can move on……

This is a public service announcement. That video that has been circulating that it is Jay-z in the front is NOT Jay-z. Look at the video closely. That guy is a but too heavy to be Jay-z. And there are rumors that Bey was in the back. In actual fact, there were two men in the back seat.

I am so happy for Jay & Bee. It took six years, but it finally happened! One of the happiest days of my life and I’m not even the one who got married, lol. Eff all the negative things people have to say, Congratulations Mr. & Mrs. Carter, wish you a lifetime of happiness together!

Congrats to Mr. and Mrs. Carter. I wonder did they invite Kanye West and Damonn Dash. I bet you guys they will have unattractive babies because Jay-Z is so ugly. Kanye West always thinks that he is friends with Jay. Jay doesn’t care about him. Jay cares about money and fame. So, we’ll see how long this marriage will last.

I think this whole wedding is a hoax. Why would multi-millionaires get married on the roof of some crusty looking apartment building where the media has easy access. Why would a couple who has been so secretive about their relationship allow their wedding to become public knowledge so soon? I could be completely wrong but we will soon know thr truth.

The only reason why I think they got married on thIS DAY is because of the 4/4 and nothing else. Bey has been with the dude and f*cking him for 6yrs. If some pregnancy mistake were to happen, it would have happened a long time ago. She wouldnt just get pregnant by mistake.
On Apr 6, 2008 | Reply | Quote
who cares if she’s pregnant or not. they can afford to have 20 babies if they want. anyway, i’m sooooo happy for them. thanks for the updates natasha. you were the only site all over it!

Dag, people dead wrong. So much hate in hearts this year. Love is cheesy, and wonderful. Who cares if she’s preggers atleast they tried to make it wright. But B is no Lauryn Hill so dont trip. She’s so focused mannnnn! And Jigga is no fool by far! CONGRATS TO MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITES and all haters know that she was probably so beautiful, and so what J is no “looker”. Im sure he was quite debonair (or however you spell that;). Their baby will probably be way cuter than the match yall’s parents made. Now picture that with an instant kodak.

Yep Sheba I was there too! First off, Mary J KILLED it last night and Jigga repped too. But let me co-sign on Sheeba’s post Mary did indeed congratulate the couple with Jay mere feet away. If that’s not a confirmation, I don’t know what is =)
Blessings to them both!

Congrates to B and Jay for finally doing the damn thing and showing folks how it should be done. Marriage and then kids. People are so hateful and jealous he married that girl cause he love her and for no other reason. And who cares how there kids will look just worry about how your own kids will look if you are fortunate enough to have some.

Jay Z is what you call “handsome and sexy”. He is not ugly. The only ugly thing is the hateful comments some of you are making. I wish them all the joy and happiness that they deserve. They don’t owe anyone any explanations as to why they do what they do, only each other.

I’m so happy for them, I figured this would be the year. I’m glad they kept it private and personal. And not the big media frenzy that is so popular these days. I also think some people need to get over themselve if they think it’s they’er right to know someone elses business. If they want to keep whatever private, then let them do them. They’ve been quit alright going at thier own pass without everyones nose in thier biz! Like any other wedding I’d like to see pics, but if they cohse not to show anything well so be it. And for crying out loud, can they relax after the wedding for a bit before dumbasses start talking baby bump…damn!

All I have to say is…about time Jay did the right thing. He seems to be a decent young man. Regardless of how much $$$ he has, Beyonce is a young woman and she deserves respect. It’s not about who’s ugly and who’s cute and so on. These negative comments are so played…just go somewhere and register to vote if you can vote.
