After conflicting reports on whether they would or would not attend Kanye West and Kim Kardashian's wedding ceremony, it looks like Jay Z and wife Beyoncé were no shows at the famous union. Last month, news broke that Jigga would not be in attendance at the soiree but would be renting the newlyweds a yacht for their honeymoon. It was recently believed that J had changed his plans after it was reported he would serve as his The Throne partner's best man. As it turns out, neither Hov or his wife Beyoncé, who isn't exactly the best of friends with the bride, made the trip to Italy to witness the nuptials.

As they say, the show still went on. Under the beautiful backdrop of Florence, Italy's 16th century built Forte di Belvedere, the couple was wed in front of over 200 family and friends, including Rick Ruben, Serena Williams, and Lala Anthony. The newly married power couple paid upwards of $400,000 to rent out the space. No expense was spared. The venue was reportedly set up with a mini stage, several walls of flowers, a white piano and 20 sculptures by artist Vannessa Beecroft. Attendees reportedly dined at a 60 meter marble table while being served by white gloved waiters. After a dance, the night's events will reportedly culminate with a laser show.
