American Idol’s season 2 winner Ruben Studdard married Surata Zuri McCants at Canterbury United Methodist Church in his hometown of Birmingham, Ala., Saturday with 20 groomsmen at his side.
Studdard, 29, and McCants, 30, obtained a marriage license at the County Probate Office in Columbiana, Ala., last Monday.
The couple met in October 2006, when he was signing CDs at a Wal-Mart in Atlanta. Struck by her beauty, he followed her to the store’s toy department, and requested her phone number. Awwww..

LOL at Reuben’s face in the second picture! Look at them, lookin; like Shrek and Fiona! All jokes aside, they are a beautiful bride and groom! Congrats to them!
Lawd have mercy Ruben…in Walmart…?????? I thought she was a high school sweetheart or something….And he standing there looking just as boring and clueless as ever… Dah well, Congrats…!
Congrats to the happy couple!
oh no! u guys have the funky drop down ad AND the fade ads still too
WTH? Anywho, she looks pretty, nice dress and all.
Congrats to them, she looked nice..
how beautiful …
so sweet!
Wasn’t his broad in the tip drill video?
I see what you own Ruben. lol
I wonder if she immediately fessed up to being in the Tip Drill video when they met?
He chased her down in the toy department? Interesting. I wish them the best.
In another article it said that he had 7 or 8 groomsmen. Just saying.
Rub looks kind of unsure in some of those picks. But congrats.
What is the deal with the tip drill video? I’m clueless.

LOL at Reuben’s face in the second picture! Look at them, lookin; like Shrek and Fiona! All jokes aside, they are a beautiful bride and groom! Congrats to them!
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO they do look happy and she is beautiful go REEEEEEEEEUUUUUUUUUUben!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Aww thats so cute how they met. lol. I can see him following somebody too!
She is a cutie pie.. Nice couple.
love only go but so far..did he find another record label yet? cuz i dont care how in love u are..noone loves to be broke..
Awwwww how sweet and exciting! Everybody’s getting married now! I love seeing black love, my big day is AUGUST 16 08!!! I”m so happy for all the couples in love
Some of y’all slick comments need to stop. I’m actually very happy for this couple because Ruben hasn’t been obsessed with being famous like a lot of other black celebs are. They both look very nice and his wife is very pretty. Congrats!!!
Im so happy for the both of them. They said grocery store/shopping store is the best place to met your mate lol. GO RUBEN
Congrats to Rueben! Wasn’t his wife in the tipdrill video? I heard that on another blog. She looks beautiful nonetheless. I wish them nothing but happiness.
I heard she was a stripper and was in Nelly’s Tip Drill video. Imagined being “holla’d at” at Wal-mart by a sort of celebrity. I guess you can take the fat boy out of Birmingham but you cant take Birmingham out of the fat boy. Then again apparently you cant take the fat boy out of Birmingham cua he always there- where else would he be. I see that vegiterrian diet is working for him though. Ha!
Did I miss something? Didn’t he lose like 1/2 is body weight or something? He had saggy skin last time I saw him…DAMN
congrats! she is pretty go ruben!!!!
but seriously tho he needs 2 really lose weight or he is gonna drop dead b4 his time
Congrats – i want to see pic of the 20 groomsmen were there 20 bridesmaid
Congrats
But if I’m not mistaken that girl from the TIP DRILL video….
I don’t know Ruben..maybe you should of thought about this
#27 i read that she is/was a flight attendant. if someone can pinpoint her in that video, i’ll believe it otherwise she doesnt look like the type. the girlz in that video are low class skank. and for those of you think meeting a women in walmart is low, atleast ruben had the ballz to seek her out, so who cares. black people alwayz hatin!!! and alwayz jealous!!!
WOW….some of ya’ll comments about Zuri is off the chain….She wasn’t shaking her ass on that video. It was just a quick shot of her face and that was it. The wedding of course was beautiful (i was there in the church) as well as the reception.
BEAUTY Q.T. … LOL at the Shrek and Fiona comment. shes a lil smaller than Fiona tho…but Rub got the Shrek thing on LOCK!
I wish them the best….at nyt she betta hide and sleep in the bathroom so he wont c wat she really looks lyk!lol…jk. shes pretty!
I also heard she was a stripper & was in Tip Drill. And I don’t care if it was “just a shot of her face” she’s still a video chick looking for her next come up. Next thing you know she’ll be writing a book about Reuben’s sexcapades…just so typical
First of All. I know Zuri. She never was a stripper nor was she a video vixen. She was on the video briefly with some friends of ours who used to be a stripper and done promotions. She wasn’t doing anything that made her look like a slut. So ya’ll need to back off of her and get the real facts. Correction on how they met, Ruben didn’t follow her to the toy section. Zuri was getting a cd sign for a friend because she couldn’t make it. Get it right!!!!
ok I did see the video. she was standing with three other girlz, not exposing herself or doing anything provocative. ya’ll make it seem like she’s like the other hoochies in the video rather it was more like a cameo appeareance.
however they meet, whoever she is, they look good together and hope they are happy. watch your comments peeps tony the tiger could find you offensive
Lol…ya’ll people are silly.
Where’s you meet your significant other? Because I know damn well my encounter with my man wasn’t glamorous or straight out of a movie.
Congrats Ruben…she’s beautiful. Happy you found true love. Treat her right before you hafta come out with Sorry:2009
WHY PEOPLE ALWAYS GOTTA HATE? SO WHAT HE WAS IN WAL-MART, IT WAS FOR A CD SIGNING. AT LEAST HE FOUND SOMEBODY TO LOVE, THAT’S WHAT COUNTS? SOME PEOPLE DON’T REALIZE HOW LOW CLASS THEY SOUND WHEN THEY MAKE COMMENTS ON SHIT THEY DON’T KNOW ABOUT. I’M SURE RUEBEN HAS MORE MONEY THAN ANY OF THE LITTLE PEOPLE ON HER MAKING NEGATIVE COMMENTS ABOUT HIM
she was in the tip drill video?
yall watchin that video way too much. i bet you that youtube just got a bunch of people searchin tip drill.
im happy for them either way, we dont know her so we cant judge her.
they look nice either way.
by the way ruben studdard has a new song with gospel singers deitrick haddon and marymary called love him like i do. its really good. you guys should post it. i knopw i jam to it everday. LOL
Will i be the first to say GOLDDIGGER? Give me a break, its as obvious as earth and sky.
Congrats to Ruben and Surata!!
Some of guys needs stop hating on how they met. What is wrong with meeting somebody at wal-mart, the grocery store, church, the damn library and school.
Lol@ the “crab in the barrel” syndrome in here. Some people just CAN’T STAND to see others happy!!! I bet some of the guys in here got women that’s done shit WAY nastier than show their face on a music video. I honestly believe if that if Reuben’s wife was a brain surgeon and did charity work all over the world, y’all would still hate on her for some reason or another!!!! Damn crabs!!!!!!
God Bless and Congratulations, Mr. and Mrs. Studdard!!!
she’s ALWAYS gonna b on top….lol
Go Reuben! Her dress is gorgeous and she looks beautiful. The velvet teddy bear found his sweetheart. She’s a lucky woman to have him singing her to sleep. Congrats!
I guess I’m gonna go against the grain here, but that woman just strikes me as a person whose just using ‘ole Velvet Teddy Bear as a foundation to claw her way to the top of the industry.
He’s easy prey because he’s an obese man. Nice guy, I’m sure, but the fact of the matter is, he’s probably got slim pickins when it comes to attractive women. If he were an A-list singer, that would probably be different.
Congrats to him, though. He’s probably deeply in love.
Shes pretty, now i hope this will push Reuben to go lose some weight… man he is just to big! But i still love him…
CONGRATS RUBEN, I wish you the best!!!
# 45 Agree 100% ,its a shame aint it?
#48 easy prey, excuze me but i actually think ruben is handsome even if he has some weight issues. you need to look on the inside and not the out. you probably dont got nobody anyway so i dont know why i even bother to comment on your stupdity.
Congrats…. I hope she’s not just in it for the money. I am not saying Ruben isn’t attractive, because I think he is… all I am saying it seems quite weird to meet an “aveage” person and marry them… She may have some other motives….
I bet anybody some money that she’ll have some “talent” and 6 months or less from now, we will see her in either a movie, play, making an album, in a video… or SOmETHING in the LIME LIGHT…
Congrats to Ruben and Bride.
She was in the Tip drill video!!!
