USHER & TAMEKA WEDDING PHOTOS

Thursday, September 6, 2007

umeka1.jpg

As we stated yesterday, Usher and Tameka got married in a grand ceremony over the weekend. Here are a few photos and some commentary on the wedding.

Usher and Tameka Raymond were married over the weekend before family members and a few celebrity friends in an elegant ceremony at Chateau Elan Winery and Resort outside of Atlanta.

Celebrity wedding planner Diann Valentine designed the lavish reception which was held in a custom tent decked out in lush red tones. The happy couple chose “Before I Let Go” by Frankie Beverly and Maze for their first dance and also enjoyed dancing to a song the groom wrote for his bride called “Here I Stand.” Their guests danced to DJs D-Nice and Doug E. Fresh throughout the night. [SOURCE]

damn chili would have made a beautiful bride. he shouldnt have screwed that one up. i dont understand if he cheated on chili why think he wont cheat on this man i mean woman. i never known a woman to look tow up on their wedding day. i just dont understand usher these days. …. and you dont need to be married to stand up and take care of your responsibilites you can still be a father and not be married.

Weeeellll, he sure looks happy and in love. Hate on me haters….(tameka’s sings…)
funny who would have thought that black women would be mad at a black celebrity for MARRYING a BLACK woman……some of you seem liked you’d be happier if she was his side piece…sheesh. give a brother some respect for wifing a chick….and setting an example…

funny we all though shaunie o’ neal was a sweetie pie and she’s so pretty and look what happened….SMH SMH SMH!!!

ATTENTION GEE!!! First of alll!!! Ur nt making sense! Do u really think if she’s married to a celebrity that can b prevented. If she’s spending time w her kids like she shud b…….how the hell cn she….. or any mother n the public eye ……stop the media frm taking pics (Genius) Think b4 u speak! I cud care less if they make it or nt. My OPINION is ……IF she’s neglecting her kids then that’s wrong!

What will Tameka say when he files for divorce? Yall won’t hear a word from her then. All the ish talking she is doing on CL is unnecessary. Close your mouth cuz you making a fool of yourself. If your love for this man is meant to be, let the haters hate. Damn! Go feed you kids, plan your future. The fact that you on here means that you don’t have much of a marriage. U think you’re tough and have a mouth that just won’t quit. But it hasn’t helped your cause. You’re an INSECURE little girl in a 40yr. old body. If you are HAPPY then BE HAPPY. You will spend all your waking hours online instead of going on a honeymoon. Which shows that you are a joke. You say you read this blog and laugh, but then turn right around and tell people off. You are proving urself to be a looser!

I didn’t know she was responding on this site about anything.
If there is something about her it’s because she put it there. I’m not hating I just think she is shady that’s all.

I must admit, she look radiated and nice, her dress was very beautiful, but they say one more time that she is 6mths I’m going to scream. She’s 4 months get it right ppl.

A picture is worth a thousand words. Something just ain’t right, just look at his face. I hope that just because she is pregnant that means he has to get married. But if he want’s to set an example, than more power to him. But i’m just sayin’!!!!

LOOK Cant people just be happy for them 2 Black People gettin togeather. If she was mixed race no one would be complaining. If she was slim like a pin no one would say nuttin. We really need to check ourselves as Black People and be real that we dont support each other.

He’s made a choice someone out of the limelight dosent that show you something more pure about Usher and that he is practically keepin it real.

Black people hate each other more than any other race hates us and its very sad. Racism comes from within us more than any rascism we face from other people. We need to check ourselves and start rejoicing in keep the Black race alive.

I think Usher and Tameka look wonderful, he doesn’t look to good to be with her and she doesn’t look to good for him. They are tip for tap even they are both attractive, she is also successful she is a fashion stylist although she may not have as much money as he does she has been in fashion for awhile, she has her own money. Who knows maybe there are really in love. #69 she has on white because no one really waits until there wedding night anymore that’s old fashion. If you wait you may find that you have married someone who you are not sexually compatiable with. That is why no one waits until there wedding night, and that is why she can wear white or bone white, or off white, eggshell any white will do.

Although it may be none of our business like some previous commenters said, I do think that most people can sense genuine love and respect a couple has for one another. Even more, we, the public can sometimes see things the couples can’t see themselves…Case in point: Michael Jackson & Lisa Marie Presley? Whitney & Bobby Brown? Halle Berry & Eric Benet? Mo’nique and her second hubby? Jill Scott & Lizell? These are all couples we gave the “yeah, right…” to, and guess what? WE WERE RIGHT!

I aint tryna say nothing about Usher and Tameka, but I’m just saying….LOL!!!

I hate to admit it but I am experiencing a little hate-itis. Suddenly, Usher isn’t sexy to me anymore.
They don’t physicially match - but hey, you can’t help who you love. I wish them well.

@ #118

How can someone tell us to mind our own business on a blog? LOL!!!! Freedom of speech!!! Usher and Tameka make a statement to the press abou their personal life everytime the wind blows, but people should mind their own business?? Crazy! Usher goes on Ellen to talk about his wedding and mentions the pregnancy before being asked, but people should mind their business?? You sound real stupid!!!!!!!!!! Tameka and Usher need to keep their wedding photos to themselves instead of releasing to the media, THEN we’ll all mind our own business. YOUR ARE THE PERFECT EXAMPLE OF STUPIDITY!!!

I only have one problem with Tameka, THE CHAOS. I am very weary of any woman who comes into a man’s life and alienates him from his mother. Justified or unjustified. A wife should be a calming spirit in a man’s life and I am just feeling like Tameka is full of drama. Maybe that is why most people seem to “hate” them.

Besides that I really could care less about them, their relationship is really just plain boring. There is nothing likeable about them as a couple. Sorry.

I am not hating on the two of them. What is the rush with everyone wanting to get married. I give these two at the most 5 yrs. People these days don’t value marriage like they used to. It seems like every other day someone is getting divorced which shows that the statistics of 1of 2 marriage last are true. It won’t last because they got married for the wrong reasons. Who calls a wedding off then has a secret wedding then another wedding for friends and family. And then post the pictures in Essence magazine to show that they had a beautiful wedding. GET REAL. It seems like they did what they did to shut the media up. The fact that his mother wasn’t there says it all. Dont be surprised people when you hear about this divorce.

129.

IMNOTAHATER

Thursday, September 6, 2007 /

Another good point made is where are her kids. Shouldn’t they be in the pictures. When you marry a woman you also marry her kids. But then again maybe she doesnt want them in the public eye. Just a thought.

Should she really be wearing white? Also, I am sooooo happy that Usher married a black woman, no matter what! That is something to be truly recognized, because we all know that is very rare in Hollywood, or any other place where there are financially successful black men.

It just looks as if Usher is going to the prom with his older cousin.

She doesn’t jump out at you and stop traffic, but she is nice looking. May she did something to the boy he aint had done before and obviously like…err LOVED it.

What that was, we may never know, I sorta have a feeling, just a hunch….just an inkling… that this shit wont last and U will be joining the ranks of the brothers who got hoodwink and bamboozled.

I just want to ask..”Dude, she’s pregnant, ur on the hook already rite? Why not wait to see how she takes care of your baby, before giving her a promotion?” Other than wanting his child to know he was indeed married to her, this makes no sense to me. “Well babe, since I already have to give you a portion of the money I’m making, why not just give you half?” I mean I’m sure he has a prenup (I hope), but it’s like inviting the fox into the chicken coop and hoping it only kills one chicken.

Should have listen to Joyce U, she’s the reason you are who you are..

Or Junior…”Take your time young man (my momma use to say), dont you rush to get old (my momma use to say), take it all in stride (my momma use to say)…live your life!

i could care less about his bride. true she’s ugly but the thing that gets to me is the way he treated his mother over some old ass freak. i don’t care how good of a lay she is, no woman should come before moms. this shit won’t last just based on the way she turned him against his mom , one day he is going to wake up and resent her for it . usher i hope one day u realize that woman come and go but moms here to stay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wish these guys the best. I agree with BamBam. Here is a stand-up man doing what he think is best for him, his wife and their child. I’m proud to be married to that type of man. We don’t see enough of that in hip hop. It’s nice to see hip hop grow up. We’re so conditioned to living jacked up lives that when someone else does something right, we wish bad on them. It’s that slavery crab-in-the-barrel mentality that holds many back. Let go, be free, live your life to the fullest, and all the while, wish your brothers and sisters well. The love you put out into the universe is the same love you get back. Sleep on it.
