Beyonce is to wait before donning a white dress

"She is very much in love and does want to make the commitment," a friend tells the paper.   

"But it will have to wait."   

The 34-year-old R'n'B singer, Jay-Z, has shown his commitment by reportedly buying a multi-million pound love nest for the couple.   

The former Destiny's Child Beyonce leads a hectic life. The Grammy award-winning singer has an established film career and has recently launched a clothes range for women.   

She has appeared in an Austin Powers movie and another film called The Fighting Temptations.   

Beyonce has even managed to get a word in the dictionary, the name of Destiny's Child track Bootylicious.
