Usher's Wedding Woes Continue

31. Let's think about this for a second. Usher's dad is non-existent. His mother not only filled both roles but made him a star too. So who does a young black mega star pick for a wife? Another mom. She's older and nurturing and strong willed just like Jonetta. Plus I'm sure somewhere in Usher's mind is the thought of being the dad he never had. The problem is you can't marry someone you don't love just because they are having your baby. You can't marry someone because you need a mother figure you can have sex with. When no one but you and the bride endorse this union it's doomed. You can be a good dad and I know you will. You are 28 and rich and talented. You would wilt in that marriage.

32. You think it's a good sign to get married when so many
issues are left unresolved between yourselves and family?

If they really wanted a quite wedding with out the public in on it they would elope and be done with it.

Usher has a rather high evaluation of his celebrity status or he is not wanting to do this wedding in the first place.

This is getting drawn out creating the press he says he didn't want!

I disagree with those that feel he should marry because there is a baby
on the way. In the best interest of the child do not bring further
disfuncton into it's life.

If there is conflict now there will be on going confict and high odds of a messy divorce ahead.
Best to handle one commitment and do a good job then two and have it hell for the child.

My thoughts on the subject any way.
That and it's 2007! Dont get knocked up while lacking secure stable commited relationships.

34. He is an adult and he needs to make an independent decision,however, he should still at least listen to his mom. I have a feeling that her motives are a lot more pure than the girlfriend's . My mom is deceased but I am still discovering that she was right about so many things and so many people. Blood is thicker than water and he may get married to several women over the course of his life (hope not) but mom will always be mom. He should not be put in a position to have to choose between his girlfirend and his mom. I don't support people having babies out of wedlock but in this case, he should have a loooonnnggg engagement especially with this person.

36. Okay I hear a few on here talk about a backyard BBQ. Excuse me, but what's her name (John Staymos) I know I spelled that wrong, but his x-wife just got married at her home and had a backyard wedding, my goodness, these backyard BBQ's (as they say) are nothing like you're thinking, There is a ton of money spent on these things, it's not like they would have picnic tables with hot dogs and hamburgers, with chip and dips. He just wanted something a little more elegant and not so casual as she did. Remember people this is HOLLYWEIRD and 'ones' backyard, is often bigger then your' house.

However with that said... I don't think this was a good match to began with.

39. How about this? The whole thing has been a big PR stunt to make people think that he's straight. He sure has a hard time keeping the "girlfriend."

40. Usher's father he was invited. A person can father a child biologilically and not particpate in their life. That's their loss not the children(s). As for personal relationship's. You must really and truly take the time to be friends and then become lovers to truly know someone's up and downs. You have to both be heading in the same direction thinking along the same ideas. And never, never, think you could change a person(s) bad habits. You should accept them as they are (SETTLE) or leave them alone. It does not seem like either one of them will settle for less. Manipulation will be the game if so. So, best of luck to anyone trying to maintain a meaningful responsible relationship. Whether you are a celebrity or not. We are all still consisted human beings. Just remember that.

41. Hey #28 and #35

Are you new to this site or what?!? Reading a small article and then voicing our own critical, and many times unfair, opinion is what this site is all about. Don't like it?!? Don't click on the comment button, ya freakin self-righteous ding-bats!

42. Toni, I know the truth hurts and I understand that. Sure it's as much as the women fault as it is the man. With 80% illegatimacy rate in the black community that's nothing to brag about. I'm not trying to be cruel just stating a fact that black leaders won't address because people like Jessie Jackson have there own little problem. So slapping me doesn't change a thing ask Sharpton after he got Imus fired have things changed in the black community!!!

43. Well if these ladies out here would keep their legs close like those mentioned...They would get married,keeo the man , and have a family!! We as a whole country need to get back to marriage first then kids..That's why we have all the problem today cause women are having kids but no marriage!! We should really think about that!! ALWAYS MARRIAGE THEN FAMILY!! Just my thought for the day!! Everyone have a good weekend!! I wish Usher well no matter what he does!!!

44. A low key backyard barbeque party for immediate family and friends - after the marriage ceremony - is no more incorrect than spending millions of dollars for a vulgar party in a castle in England or France. What for? - to show off. If Tameka is indeed pregnant with Usher's child, she doesn't need Usher's fans trashing her for her decisions on the style of wedding party she wanted. It was to be their day; butt out you Usher fans!

Being pregnant is stressful enough without jealous people spewing hurtful remarks. If Usher could move past Tameka's troubled past - what business is it of yours to attack her like a pack of wolves upon a lame deer? Furthermore, your hate-riddled remarks against Usher's mother is malicious. It is wonderful that we can enjoy freedom of speech rights in this country, however, squirting out crap off the top of your head like many of you have for the past two days is just plain reprehensible. Obviously you have issues of your own and disrespect toward your own mother so you impart your own immaturity into Usher's relationship with his mother. Good, bad, or indifferent, his mother is still USHER'S MOTHER. Not yours!

Usher needs to take a step back and sort all of these problems out before he enters into the bond of matrimony. If he and/or his business advisors slapped Tameka with a last minute pre-nuptial contract - unexpectedly , she turned the tables on them and told them to go to effing hell .....
