HOLLYWOOD - Beyonce Knowles and Jay-Z will marry at the rap mogul's New York apartment at 4 p.m. on Friday, according to sources close to the couple.
Workers have been spotted setting up an event inside a block in the city's TriBeCa neighborhood, where rapper Jay-Z owns a luxury home.
A marquee has been erected on a terrace at the building, and elegant bouquets of white flowers and candelabras have been delivered.
It's rumored just 30 people will be present at the all-white ceremony, including close family members and Beyonce's Destiny's Child bandmates, Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams--who are known to be in New York.
The date and time are very special for the couple--four is a number close to both bride and groom.
Jay-Z was born on Dec. 4, 1969, and Beyonce was born on Sept. 4, 1981.
The rapper, real name Shawn Carter, also owns a nightclub franchise called 40/40 and he and Knowles have matching 'IV' tattoos on their ring fingers.
The couple is also planning a second wedding celebration in France on May 4, according to reports.
