Rapper Jay-Z and singer Beyoncé are one of the biggest celebrity power couples in the world, and on Thursday, 4 April, they will celebrate their 16th wedding anniversary.
The couple met in the year 2000, when Beyoncé, now 42, was just 18 years old.Their meeting came when they sat next to each other on a plane while both attending the 2000 MTV Spring Break festival.
