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!

77. like they always say "momma always knows best" & "do as your momma tells you". Usher will wish he had listened to his mom......she never gave him bad advice before which is why his career took off like it did. He'll be sorry.

78. I just hoped he made her sign a pre-nup. When you look at her you can just tell what she is. LOOKING FOR MONEY!!!!!!!!! I feel sorry for him, as it looks like he really does love her. I hope mom made him sign a unbreakable pre-nup.

79. Usher is going to be very sorry, very soon.
This woman has played him like a violin.
Why isn't she raising her 3 kids she already has?
Not to be old fashioned, even though I am, but a woman who doesn't take care of her own kids is not a woman a man should think about marrying.
Especially a man with so many options, being a successful recording artist like Usher.
I guess having talent as Usher does--does not exempt one from acting dumb over matters of the heart.

80. Chili went to Usher's mother's house two weeks ago and and Tameka showed up. Chili was on the way out of the door and looked at Tameka, laughed and kept it moving. Tameka was outraged because she felt that Chili should visit her man's mother and not his. I am still cool with my ex's family and him and if she was secure enough, she would not let the fact that Chili has a frindship with Usher's mom. My fiance and I go out with my ex and his girl sometimes. I can see if Chili was trying to get back with him. Chili was a good woman to Usher and he cheated on her. I am a woman and if I had her to come to every night, I would worship the groung that she walks on. I think that you can be friends with your ex as long as it is not in a deceptive manner and there are no motives to destroy there current relationship. I know that alot of people disagree with me but to each his/her own.

81. Although everyone has an opinion why Usher should or shouldn't marry Ms Foster, whatever is going on, let those two work it out. There is a stigma why a woman with 3 (now 4) children should even marry anyhow but if Usher is up for the challenge, so be it. I just hope they both take their time and work it all out and prove to the folks one way or the other that the marriage is real and that the love is just that... love! No alterior motives. Blessed love to them both...

84. Why date a guy, and get pregnant before getting married ? She already has three kids, and now is having a fourth. Gee, Is it because she wants alot of cash ? How obvious. Yes, he is a sucker.

88. I think everyone needs to leave this alone....Ashton married Demi and she has three kids and a ex-husband and no one is saying anything about that.plus she is much older than Ashton .Usher is a big boy and i think he knows what he wants. And what marriage in hollywood last forever anyhow? even people that aren't celebs. stay married long anymore....plus as a sista i have to say at least he wants to take care of his child unlike alot of other brothers that are celebs. and athletes..maybe it wasn't one of his smartiest moves but he is a good guy and i'm sure that god will look out for him...so stop the hate...

89. What is wrong with some of you?!
OLD HAG ...GOLD DIGGER ...LIFE IS RUINED!!! Not one of you know him or her !! My god !! Usher has been around the block MANY times and he clearly knows what he wants and what's best for HIM & HIS FIRST CHILD !!!!!!!!!! Oh yeah ...there is a child people !!! He clearly wants a WOMAN ...not a big butt and a smile !! I wish them the best and their child is already blessed .... the fact that mom and DAD is going to give them the best that MONEY CAN'T BUY .... PARENTS IN THE SAME HOUSEHOLD !! If Usher feels he is man enough to be a father to all these children ... more power to him. As a single mother ... she is blessed ... better than most of us right now. So stop hating !! Here is a blackman BEING a man and you guys are acting like asses!!

I wish them all the blessings of the universe.

90. Getting married in an attorney's office looks bad, especially after all of the hoopla over the past week. This situation boils down to one thing, Usher wanting to be a responsible, present father to his son - unlike his own father. The baby is Tameka's trump card. I just hope she doesn't get bored an leave this one the way she did the other three. The woman is obviously manipulative and low class.
