The 'Crazy In Love' singer is planning to tie the knot with the rapper in
New York City tomorrow afternoon.
The pair - who have been dating for six years - are believed to have applied
for a marriage license in New York.
They emerged from Scarsdale Village Hall holding hands and smiling after
meeting with a clerk to obtain the documents.
A source told People magazine: "It was just the two of them. They were very
polite and smiling as they filled out the paperwork. They were holding hands
for a while. They looked really happy."
The marriage license is valid for 60 days.
Friends of the couple have confirmed the wedding reports, which were sparked
after 26-year-old Beyonce was seen wearing a diamond band on her ring finger
last month.
One pal said: "Jay is trying to pull it together quickly to keep it quiet.
They really wanted it to be private."
It has been rumored that Jay-Z, 38, proposed to Beyonce during a luxury
holiday in Cannes, France, last May.
