Usher
and Tameka Foster's "Disagreements" Led to Wedding Cancellation
7/30/07
R&B star Usher's wedding to Tameka Foster on Saturday (28Jul07) was
scrapped because of a series of disagreements between the pair, according
to reports.
The superstar was hoping to wed his pregnant fiancé on Saturday
afternoon (28Jul07) at record executive Antonio 'L.A.' Reid's home in Long
Island, New York.
But the ceremony was called off just hours before the pair were due to
get married, allegedly due to a string of differences in opinion between
the couple and Usher's mother's disapproval of the impending nuptials.
A source tells People Magazine, "Usher's mother (and former
manager, Jonetta Patton, whom he fired in May) is against the wedding.
That is one of the main obstacles. They only decided two weeks ago to have
a wedding. They wanted to have it take place before the baby bump started
showing."
However, another source tells the site, "Usher changed his
mind" on the day, adding, "(the couple) had a lot of differences
about the details. For example, the bride wanted barbeque, (Usher) wanted
to have (renowned chef) Jean Georges cook. (Due to the differences, the
wedding) "was on again off again for the past few days. (Foster) was
calling it off because she wasn't getting the things that she wanted. The
mother was calling it off. ... Usher was calling it off."
Usher's spokeswoman, Patti Webster issued a statement on Saturday
(28Jul07), refusing to comment on whether or not the couple had split.
She said, "No additional information will be given regarding the
circumstances of the cancellation, but we hope the privacy of this matter
will be respected."
Usher announced his stylist girlfriend Foster was pregnant in January
(07) and the couple confirmed engagement reports in June (07).
