Kim Kardashian and Kanye West wedding has definitely been the talk of the town over the weekend for so many reasons. One of which was the absence of an equally controversial couple, Beyonce and Jay-Z, who were both expected to attend the nuptials in Florence last Saturday. In fact, Jay-Z has been set to act as the groom's best man during the extravagant wedding in Italy. Nevertheless, the significance of Jay-Z's role in this much-anticipated event of the year did not stop him and Beyonce from becoming a no-show.

The couple's absence or non-attendance during the event was confirmed only shortly before the start of the evening ceremonies. The confirmation came through Beyonce's selfie she posted in her Instagram profile. The selfie showed the singer looking plain and without any make-up at all. Obviously, it sent the message that she was not preparing for any grand event for that night.

Nevertheless, their absence during the event does not indicate that they are ignoring the big day of their close friends in the entertainment industry. Beyonce did not let the day end without greeting the newlyweds through her Instagram post, saying, "Wishing you a lifetime of unconditional love. God bless your beautiful family." The message was accompanied by a photo of the newlyweds, Kim and Kanye, with their daughter, baby North. The photo Beyonce posted was the one taken for the Vogue shoot.

Although no official statement has been issued by the no-show pair, it seems that Rachel Roy, also a close friend of Kim, could be the reason behind the couple's decision. It was not too long ago when news about the conflicts among Rachel, Jay-Z and Solange, Beyonce's sister, broke out. Plus, the confrontation between Solange and Jay-Z has also gone viral.

A source mentioned, "They weren't sure about all of the media attention, and it possibly being filmed for the show (referring to Keeping Up with the Kardashians), but after the fight with Rachel at The Met, they decided to lay low."
