They might be tight-lipped about their wedding but public record confirms Beyonce and Jay-Z did indeed get married. The superstar couple had filed their signed wedding license Friday in Scarsdale.

People magazine reports that according to Town Clerk Donna Conkling, the license, which lists the wedding date as April 4, was received on Friday afternoon. The “Crazy In Love” singers applied for the license three days before the event itself.

Conkling also says that although their license was filed more than five days after the wedding, it’s expected to be processed with the state without penalty as the penalty is frequently waived.

The much-talked about, but never confirmed, wedding was attended by friends and family of the couple, including her parents Tina and Matthew Knowles, sister Solange, and Destiny’s Child members Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams.

Beyoncé and Jay-Z arrived at Scarsdale Village Hall shortly after it opened at 9 a.m on Tuesday to get their marriage license. “It was just the two of them,” an eyewitness tells PEOPLE. “They were very polite and smiling as they filled out the paperwork. They were holding hands for a while. They looked really happy.”

Could their happiness be because the longtime couple is finally putting the constant wedding and split rumors to rest? Although a rep for Beyoncé, 26, had no comment and a rep for Jay-Z, 38, could not be reached, the courthouse trip is the first real indication that the pair – who first started dating in 2002 – will walk down the aisle.

Rumors of a wedding have long followed the couple, and Beyoncé has admitted to thinking about how it would happen. “I don’t know when I’ll want to get married,” she told Cosmopolitan in January 2006. “I never pictured myself as a bride, but after my sister’s wedding, I did start thinking about what kind of wedding I’d want. I don’t think I want a big one.”

A year later, she told InStyle, “Maybe me and my man will go away to an island; maybe we’ll go to a church. I have no idea.”
