The hip-hop star announced his plans at a record company party for departing Def Jam boss Lyon Cohen-delighting the revellers.After Cohen gave a speech to guests at New York nightclub TAJ,Jay-Z took the mike and told the music mogul,"You've been one of the best friends I could have had...Apart from this woman beside me(Beyonce),who I love and who I will marry very soon."A witness at the bash says,"It was really unexpected.As soon as he said it everyone in the place started whooping and cheering.Beyonce was standing next to him cooing and looking totally in love.It was a beautiful moment.If ever there were any doubts about how much they love each other,then this certainly blew those away."The pair have been dating since duetting on a track called '03 Bonnie &Cylde' in 2002,although both have always refused to publically comment on the relationship.
