Rumor has it that rapper Lil Wayne married his long time girlfriend a few days ago. The two tied the knot in a civil ceromony. The bride was given two wedding rings; one which she wears on her index finger, which is a Hebrew tradition, the other she wears on her ring finger. There are no other details regarding the wedding. In the meantime, protoge Drake's sophomore album, "Take Care" has landed at the top of the Billboard charts.
