Rumours are rampant that Jay-Z and Beyonce Knowles will exchange wedding vows in New York today after gossips learned the rapper has cleared his busy schedule for the day.

Jay-Z has performances with Mary J. Blige in Massachusetts last night and North Carolina tomorrow - but nothing today.

And New York news organisations are reporting Knowles is currently in the Big Apple, together with her mother Tina and former Destiny’s Child bandmate Michelle Williams.

Jay-Z and Knowles successfully applied for a wedding licence in Scarsdale, New York on Tuesday, and they have 60 days from that date to exchange vows - before the paperwork deadline expires.

The latest rumours come just a day after Jay-Z staged an alleged bachelor party in Toronto, Canada.

Representatives for both stars are refusing to confirm or deny marriage reports. - WENN
