I had the time of my life at Jay and B's wedding...sigh. Ok, ok, ok, I wasn't invited! However, I was around to see all the commotion going on and so were our NYFab! sources who were downtown on 4/4/08 the day the couple exchanged vows. Here's the scoop;

Paparazzi surrounded 195 Hudson street (Jay's apartment) waiting for wedding guest to arrive. As soon as a tent was placed on the roof of Jay's building we all knew something was up.

Guest included Matthew and Tina Knowles, Gloria Carter (Jay's mom), Kelly Rowland, Michelle Williams, Steve Stoute, DJ Cassidy, Gweneth Paltrow, and Chris Martin (well those were the ones photographed at least).

Women were asked to wear Ivory and Gentlemen were asked to wear black. The tent was covered with flowers and candles and said to be very intimate.

For all the haters out there here's a quote from Hov himself this past December at the opening of his 40/40 in Las Vegas;

“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.’”


One source who attended the wedding described it as; perfect

Keep it Fab Bigga; We can't wait for the kiddies to start coming!
