Beyonce Knowles and Jay-Z

Although Beyonce and rapper Jay-Z haven't declared their marriage outloud, the couple picked up a marriage license in Scarsdale, NY on April 1. Just three days after Beyonce and Jay-Z (real name: Shawn Carter), a couple for six years, exchanged top-secret vows and celebrated with a close circle of 40 friends and family members who gathered at the groom's extravagant penthouse. Amy Vongpitaka, of NYC's Amy's Orchids, told Us Weekly that the 75 boxes of white and cream-colored orchids "made the apartment like a heaven, like a palace." So much for a hush-hush wedding.
