CONGRATS!! AMERICAN IDOL WINNER RUBEN STUDDARD GETS MARRIED (WEDDING PICS INSIDE)


 







June 30, 2008. BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - (AP) Former "American Idol" Ruben Studdard has married Surata Zuri McCants at a church in a suburb of Birmingham, Alabama. But there was no singing during the 30-minute ceremony — just an exchange of vows, prayers and music provided by a string ensemble. A reporter from The Birmingham News attended the ceremony.

The groom, nicknamed the "Velvet Teddy Bear" on "Idol" for his big frame and sonorous voice, wore a black tuxedo with white bow tie for Saturday's ceremony. His bride wore a white and ivory wedding gown.

Alabama will be their home as the 29-year-old-singer gets set to release a new album later this year.

    sexy_cece is STUPID! He did the best he could with his opportunity (better than all the other winners), but the labels don't promote him well at all..and SELF CENTERED people like you who are ignorant don't know how to support REAL artists who are thin as pencils! It's usually the "big" and "overweight" artists who HAVE the real talent, so shut your dumb mouth!

    Noo F%^ You..please dont tell me to support someone's music i dont like, i support who ever the [EXPLETIVE] i want..WHo made this a fat/skinny issue?? You MUST be fat and are sick and tired of ppl making fun of you, dont get mad, just step away from the plate and go run..you will lose those pounds some day. STUPID is you. I NEVER mentioned anything about his weight, can you read?? hahahha u r soo damn funny getting all offended over something i never said. Yea its a fact that Ruben is one of the most unsuccesful AI winners out there, whose fault that is..thats up for debate..
    Im self centered?? how??? please do tell.
    wow you just out as the dumbass.

    Just saw him in NY the same time last year. He had lost about 150 pounds and looked great. Now it looks like he put back on the 150 plus an extra 90. The Girl got serious skills, Hopefully, she knows how to drive a Semi... Cause going forward, she will definitely be driving... Can't let that big Mo-FO climb on top...

    dicediva35
    That's very nice. I wish them all the best. I love Ruben's voice and he seems like such a genuinely good-hearted person.
    It's such a shame that people take the time to post such nonsense about them and their special day. First, his bride is nowhere near fat. Secondly, why even bother to spout all that nonsense and vulgarity? These people haven't done anything to anyone. I love how it was said that someone wasn't intelligent by the person whose next statement was about sucking male body parts. So silly.
    What does Ruben's weight have to do with the happiness of his marriage? If she's cool with it, that's on them. Big people need love, too! :)
