Hook-ups
Usher Finally Marries

Usher and fiancee Tameka Foster have finally tied the knot, one week after canceling their extravagant wedding, People reports.

The couple, who are expecting their first child this winter, were reportedly married in the Atlanta office of the singer's lawyer. That's way different from the over-the-top affair they had originally planned. According to reports, Usher and his bride were to celebrate their union at the NY home of music tycoon LA Reid. Celeb chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten had been hired to whip up the wedding feast, and singer Robin Thicke (and others) were lined up to perform. The wedding was so extravagant -- the couple spent $10,000 on invitations alone.

As to what caused the nuptials to be canceled the first time, it's anybody's guess. Several outlets have reported that it was Usher's momager, Jonetta Patton, who disapproved of the 37-year-old Foster. Ms. Foster reportedly has a shady past, which Usher was unaware of until right before last week's planned wedding. It also could have been a self-described "pregnancy scare" that Foster endured last Saturday.

In any event, the two on-and-off lovebirds are on their way to wedded bliss. Beware the monster-in-law!

47. Ok, maybe momma's are usually right BUT Usher's mom WAS treating him like he was her man instead of her son. She had absolutely no life outside of him! Plus, mom's in the past had their son's best interest at heart but in today's world, there are a LOT of monster-in-law's who are dead wrong. They are psycho and DO NOT want their's son's happiness cause they are miserable. Momma's ain't built like they use to be, a lot of them refuse to pop their boobs out of their son's mouth. I mean, I don't think Usher's wife is beautiful but he is a GROWN man and he can make all the mistakes he wants. I mean, where was his father, wasn't that a mistake Usher's mama was allowed to make? Exactly, thank you. Leave them alone!

56. WHATEVER I agree with you!! So Obvious, it really is so obvious that you are (1)Not Black (2)Stupid as Hell and (3) Hater. If you knew anything about Jay Z and Beyonce, he has said numerous times that he is ready to wife Beyonce, however, she has said multiple times that she is cool as is and is not ready for marriage and kids. Her mom even said she wants her to slow down, step back from music get married and give her some grandchildren. Usher is no one to look up to for marrying that woman. As aforementioned, she cheated on her husband with Usher (adultery), divorced her husband to be with him and left her kids. What kind of wife or mother is she going to be with a track record like that. If you want to commend someone for doing the right thing, or being a "role model" per se, there are plenty of others to choose from because that relationship is nothing to model.

58. Hmmm fascinating. I was just surfing around and saw this story about this couple. I have no idea who they are but I am surpries about the comments on their marriage.
What I understand is this:
A vey rich man marries an older woman with three kids and a questionable past. A lady that once was on wellfare and involved with a drugdealer.
Well, a young man from this superficial plastic world of Hollywood celebs who marries an older woman with three kids deservs my RESPECT!

Her past is sad and tradgic and I can not see why she should not deserve a second chance.

She is called uggly(?), old and a golddigger. Well, I am convinced all the old rich men who are married to 20 or 30 year younger weman are not married to women that are in to that for love. Every rich man has that sad risk to be married to a woman that is a golddigger no matter if she is old or young.

Maybe you think that he might as well have chosen a pretty one to have fun with. Shure but that he did not (and by the way I can“t see his wife is uggly), makes him less primitive then the rest of the rich guy gang in Hollywood.

When it comes to the mother in law I can only be disgusted if it is true she distroyed the wedding. That is respectless towards her grown child. No parent has the right to act like that. At a certain point in life you can say your opinion if you do not agree with your adult childs choices but you have no right to conciously destroy when it comes to your childs marriage.

No matter if this marriage will become a desaster or not it is his life not his mothers!

This mother should stay away for a long time now and if she does not do it by free will I would locker her out.

59. usher should hook up with scary spice she is better looking, and single..

60. "usher should hook up with scary spice she is better looking, and single.."

I beg the differ. If Usher is going to have a gold digger in his life, he should have an American gold digger, why do you want to outsource gold digger position to Britain? I rather Usher takes care of his American gold digger's 3 other children than Scary Spice's other British kids. I can't stand British washed out entertainers came to Hollywood to leech American stars.
