: MediaTakeOut.com has learned that after a quiet civil ceremony, Usher and Tameka Foster pulled off their dream wedding in Atlanta on Saturday.
"I'm thrilled that this is finally happening," said one guest, who watched the couple exchange vows in front of about 200 people at the luxurious Chateau Elan Winery & Resort, a 16th-century-style French chateau set on 3,500 acres of rolling hills outside Atlanta. "It was a long time coming, and I can't think of any two people who deserve happiness more than they do."
MediaTakeOut.com learned that among the guests were Oprah Winfrey's pal Gayle King and music manager Benny Medina.
Usher's mother, Jonetta Patton, who has reportedly clashed with Foster, did not attend.
The guests enjoyed a sit-down dinner inside the resort's ballroom. Dessert was a five-tiered white chocolate-covered wedding cake with handmade flowers by Napa's Perfect Endings, who recently did Eva Longoria's wedding cake.
"They are in love and they wanted this to be perfect," says another guest of the event, planned by wedding planner Diann Valentine. "They had their reasons for not getting married (before), and that's their own business. Now they could get things done the way they wanted to, their family and friends can be here now."
The couple originally planned to tie the knot at a lavish no-expenses-spared event at music mogul L.A. Reid's Sagaponack, N.Y., home, but the ceremony was postponed at the last minute.
The civil ceremony between Usher (full name: Usher Raymond), 28, and Foster, 37, was reportedly held in his lawyer's office Aug. 3. The couple are expecting their first child this fall. This is Usher's first marriage, Foster's second.

TAMEKA IS BEAUTIFUL, VERY BEAUTIFUL USHER DID THE RIGHT THING..USHER MOTHER NEEDS TO JUST ACCEPT THE FACT THAT HER SON CHOSE TAMEKA IF IT WORKS GOOD IF IT DOESN'T THEN THEY'LL JUST DIVORCE AND MOVE ON..I DON'T BELIEVE THE THINGS THEY SAY ABOUT TAMEKA OBVIOUSLY, THERE'S SOMETHING SPECIAL ABOUT HER FOR USHER TO MARRY HER..USHER DATED ALOT OF WOMEN AND IF THIS IS THE ONE HE CHOSE THEN THERE IS SOMETHING THAT'S NICE ABOUT HER AND I DON'T THINK IT HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH *** BECAUSE *** CANNOT MAKE A MAN MARRY YOU, OTHERWISE SUPERHEAD WOULD HAVE BEEN MARRIED A LONG TIME AGO...*** IS NOT THE REASON HERE HE LOVES THIS WOMAN AND SHE MUST BE A SPECIAL PERSON..THERE'S MORE TO HER THAT WE DON'T KNOW..CONGRATS USHER..
its about time, I thought the kid was gonna be old enough to be ring bearer by the time they finally got married.
P.S. Off the wall. Can somebody tell me the name and artist of the following lyrics (won't google for ***):
"I put my drink down..? I'm tryin ta see whats good, you wanna holla at me, baby i wish ya would, so when we leave the club......."
Thanks
Here's a thought: MTO would report less on Usher/Tameka if you all didn't give the Usher/Tameka stories so many page hits. They only report it because you keep reading it! Even if you post "Who Cares?" that still shows you cared enough to click on the story and submit a post. If you don't wanna read about them, don't give them any attention.
Anyway, the next person who comes on here calling Tameka ugly needs to post a photo of themselves (if you're a female) or post a photo of their girl (if you're a male) and see how people react to that. It's easy to be a hater behind your computer screen.
i dont blame ushers mom for not coming. a mother can always sense when someone is fake and not right for their child, and usher is just blinded by her and she is playing him so she can live the high life, a prime example of that is him firing his mom so man-eka can be his manager. hopefully usher will see how fake she is. or....it may be another hoax to sell albums. who knows.
Aight RobRight: I see what you mean. And you're right. But I think it's human nature to clown someone. Maybe we hate on who we wish we were. Like a lot of chicks want Usher, and because Tameka has him, they're gonna hate. Makes sense?? And sorry about the rudeness earlier. I didn't have my cappuccino fix yet!!!!
THIS ENTIRE THING IS STUPID. HOW CAN YOU MARRY THIS WOMAN AND STILL DIS YOUR MOTHER? YOUR MOTHER IS YOUR MOTHER AND SHE HAS BEEN THERE FOR YOU AND GIVEN YOU LIFE.. WHO IN THE WORLD DOES HE THINK HELD HIM DOWN WHEN OTHERS LAUGHED AT HIM? THERE IS A REASON WHY SHE DOESN'T LIKE HER COULD IT BE THAT THIS CHICK HAD KIDS AND HAS MOTIVES? HOW DO YOU FIRE YOUR MOTHER AND HIRE YOUR USED GOODS WOMAN TO MANAGE YOUR AFFAIRS WHEN SHE CANNOT MANAGE HER OWN?
TRUST, HE WILL REGRET THE DAY HE PICKED THIS APE LOOKIN *** OVER HIS MOTHER. YOU NEVER TURN ON YOUR FAMILY OR TAKE THE SIDE OF ANYONE OVER YOUR FAMILY, EVEN FOR LOVE. IF A PERSON DON'T GET ALONG WITH YOUR FAMILY, YOU SHOULD LEAVE THEIR *** WHERE YOU FOUND THEM. AND TRUST THAT YOUR FAMILY KNOWS YOU BETTER THAN THEM, AND IF YOUR FAMILY GIVES YOU ADVICE, FIRST THEY'VE BEEN LIVING LONGER THAN YOU, AND THEY WANT THE BEST FOR YOU, AND THEY ARE JUST TRYING TO PREVENT YOU FROM HITTING A WALL. BUT SOME PEOPLE ALWAYS HAVE TO HIT ROCK BOTTOM, OR THAT WALL SO TO SPEAK. PEOPLE, PLEASE TRUST YOUR FAMILY WHEN THEY GIVE YOU ADVICE ON LOVE, THEY MIGHT KNOW A THING OR TWO MORE THAN YOU. USHER, YOU ARE FOOLISH TO HAVE CHOSEN SOME RANDOM WOMAN OVER YOUR MOTHER, THE WOMAN THAT CARRIED YOU, DID NOT ABORT YOU, TOOK GOOD CARE OF YOUR, NURTURED YOUR BODY AND MIND, FOSTERED YOUR DREAMS OF FAME AND SUPPORTED YOU THE WHOLE WAY. I DON'T CARE WHAT THE DISAGREEMENT IS, YOU OWE HER MORE THAN THIS...TO FIRE HER, O MY GOODNESS. DON'T YOU KNOW THE BIBLE SAYS THAT TO OBEY YOUR PARENTS SO THAT YOUR DAYS ARE LONG ON THE EARTH...USHER I FEEL SORRY FOR YOU, I DON'T KNOW THE DETAILS OF YOUR RELATIONSHIP, NOR IS THAT NECESSARY TO MAKE THE STATEMENT I AM MAKING. I REALLY FEEL SORRY FOR YOU CAUSE YOUR LIFE WILL TAKE A DOWN HILL SPIRAL FROM HERE...YOU HAVE JUST TURNED A CORNER WHERE THERE IS NO GOING BACK AROUND....HAVE FUN WITH THAT APE NOW. SHE WILL EVENTUALLY TIRE OF YOU AND WALK AWAY WITH MAJORITY OF YOUR MONEY AND YOUR DIGNITY IN HER BACK POCKET. THEN YOU'LL BE LOOKING TO MOM TO PICK YOUR *** UP OFF THE SIDEWALK....SO SAD...
This whole thing would have looked better if they had gotten married right in the first place. Having the civil ceremony and going through the charade of a formal wedding (complete with walk down the isle) is just plain tacky. Usher married Tameka because she is pregnant, period. And she knows it. That is note a good look at nearly 40, divorced and with two other kids.
what the hell is usher thinking? has he lost his natural mind? the woman is 37 he 28 come on now she just wants that money and wants to control him. everyone knows this marriage isn't going to last usher is so stupid to bring a child in that messed up situation well he will learn when this dont work out he is a kid compared to her she should be ashamed of herself. she looks more like his momma then his wife.lol
WHY USHER!? WHYYYY? ***! Tameka knows what he...I mean she is doing.Got that young guy whipped.She older and unattractive,those be the ones who will ay it down,bc they lacking in other departments.AWW ***! Its like a funeral..burying Usher's career....but if he is happy..he cant be f*ck dat! I think he trying not to be a baby daddy.He wants it to be the traditional way..
BUT WITH USHER'S NOSE LOOKING LIKE A ANCHOR AND TAMEKA CHIN ALL MASCULINE..PO' BABY
I hope Usher catches hell for the way he treated his mom for that heffa. I hope she runs off with half of everything he owns...teach his dumb behind a lesson. Tameka doesn't give a *** about his dumb ***. That heffa has money signs for eye *** and Usher wants to act like he don't see it. What you reap you shall sow...

as much as this relationship troubles me i am happy he married a sista. a regular sista at that. not some light-skinned, long haired barbie doll, not a snowbunny, not a latina as most brothas in his position would've done. he married a regular sista who look she can make some good peach cobbler, potato salad, and oil his scalp when she get through. Kudos to you Usher!!!!!!!but did she have to be so old?
With all the fame and money he has and he chooses to marry a woman who is 1. not very attractive 2. 10 yrs older than him 3. has 3 kids from previous relationships I don't get it? He must be be trying to replace his mama? Probably got tired of being under her thumb. He could have gotten him a nice piece like Beyonce or something and he marries this? Yikes.
Be blessed and happy. The word says what God put together NO MAN can pull apart. Black Americans people are the most negative and envious people on the planet. Who are we to question anyone when it comes to their happiness? We definitely wrote the book on how to be a player... how to *** hoes... how to sleep with women in different area codes... and much more. So when a black men wants to settle down, stop sleeping around, and focus on his woman and child (better word family).. it's strange for us isn't it. It's just not right for a black man to want to do right. We can't stand it when a person is doing right... We have to mock it... We have to tear it down with words of hate... We have to disrespect his woman because she does not fit your image of beauty, as if GOD MADE YOU the person to make that determination... We have to have an opinion on someone elses life because dam we just do... We speak words of doom on a sacred union that you have no idea if God put them together... WHO IN THE HELL ARE YOU... WHAT GIVES YOU THE RIGHT TO TALK DOWN YOUR OWN BROTHER AND SISTER... WHY CAN'T YOU JUST BE HAPPY FOR THEM... AND MORE IMPORTANTLY, WHO ARE YOU TO QUESTION THEIR UNION. THIS is why is there is such a divide in the black community... We CANT BE HAPPY FOR ONE ANOTHER.... IT'S CALLED THE *** EFFECT!!! FOR YOU YOUNG TEENIE BOPPERS... IT'S CALLED LIFE... KEEP LIVING IT.... YOU BE SURPRISED WHAT YOU WILL DO YEARS FROM NOW WHEN HOPEFULLY YOU FIND LOVE, PEACE AND HAPPINESS
It really is not that deep. Quit putting Gods name into things that are done out of the realm of his path. Right only he will have the final judgement but, some of us want to immediately put God into play when we mess up the path he had paved for us. He tells us to go right and instead we go left and wonder why things do not go right. What we can say is the we reap what we sow...now God does have that covered.
@Strwby Cheesecake or Tameka or Swezi
God has nothing to do with this unholy union. Like Eugeneistommy leave God out of it. If it was truly blessed union then why is his Mother who is Christian herself is against it? And would God support someone who is involve in another marriage and so quickly divorce for someone else? And another question why do people like you keep using the phrase "black" so loosely in order to make a point? The "whites" were the ones that made us "blacks" slaves so I don't happen to agree with your blind statement about how we "blacks" are the most negatative and envious people on the planet. I would like to think the stereo type "black teeny boppers" like me (you referr to all blacks or white on here as teenyboppers) are opinionated. We "negative blacks" have a right to question things that make no sense if we want to or not it is called opinions. If we truly hated somebody would that person still be living or would we not have signs outside that persons house and cause a riot like the KKK did with us Blacks? Listen if you can't stand our negative opinions than y r u huffing and puffing wasting ur breath talking to us "teenyboppers" about what's wrong or right? U R ON MEDIATAKEOUT OF ALL SITES! U should be happy that we r still talking about Usher negative or positive cuz what would happen if we suddenly stop?
@Anon2....Where have you been P'sIC????....I have been looking for you and DT!!!...Do we have beef or are we still Partners In Crime???!!! Holla at ya folks cause I need to know!!! I waited tooo *** long for you to come back!!!:)
By the way...Loved the "CODE RED! CODE RED! RED ALERT" post!!!! Max is back!!!!!
@ Strwby Cheesecake
You offer me cheesecake but left out the strawberry on top of it.
I'm going to go ahead assume that what you meant by your oh-so-clear statement:
"A man is supposed live without his mother and go make a home with his wife. His mom needs to get a life of her own, sorry to say."
1) A man is supposed to respect his parents too in order to have a long and prosperous life. Says it in the bible.
2) What makes you think that Mrs.Jonetta does not have a life? She has already experience life before and she is sharing her wisdom to her son who apparently does not want to take heed in her words.
3) [@ UmmmNo] Would you jump off a bridge if Usher or any other black man married a YT woman.
A question for S.C. again. Did you have a beef with your in-laws? I detected a little malice in your last statement regarding Usher's mom. I'm go ahead and be bold as to say GOD HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH YOUR LAST STATEMENT!
Usher is a grown *** man , he can marry who he wants a pre-nup was already signed ,The bible says to married couples no one but God should come before your husband or wife not even your moma. There are a lot of couples out there where the woman is much older then the man and the marriage works . Everyone in the world isn't pretty. God looks at the beauty on the inside not the outside and to call a baby ugly . Remember we all will have grandchildren great grans or just relatives that might not be so-call beautiful
I think Chilli is still in love with Usher.Have anyone noticed how she acts when ever Usher name is mentioned to her? About a month ago she just broke out laughing continuously when a radio host asked her "What do she think about Usher being engaged? Also when she found out Usher was cheating on her she called the radio station and reported all her personal business involving her and Usher relationship.CHILLI YOU SHOULD ALWAYS KEEP *** TO YOURSELF AND I THINK IF YOU WOULD HAVE DONE THAT YOU AND USHER WOULD HAVE GOTTEN BACK TOGETHER.
CONGRATS TO USHER AND HIS NEW WIFEE.
I still do not think that Usher sould have married her. Usher is a very attractive young man(No ***) and she is not that cute. and she already has kids. Usher could have done sooooooooo much better. Me personally i think she knows something about him and he does not want her to tell so he decided to marry her. I also think that after she has this baby wit usher she is not goin to want to talk to her other kids anymore and she is goin to neglect them. that is just my persoanl ideas and thoughts.
