American Idol season 2 champ Ruben Studdard wed his girlfriend Surata Zuri McCants Saturday at noon in Alabama, the Birmingham News reported.
The pair exchanged vows in front of over 300 guests at the Canterbury United Methodist Church in his hometown of Birmingham.
The bride, 30, wore a white and ivory Casablanca gown, while Studdard, 29, sported a black tuxedo, white vest, and a white hand tied bow tie, the Birmingham News reported.
The wedding party also wore black and white.
Studdard met the flight attendant at a CD signing at a Wal-Mart in Atlanta, Georgia in October 2006.
"I was signing copies of my CD and she came in to get one signed for her friend who couldn't get off from work," he told the Birmingham News. "We started talking, and she was telling me about her friend. But I just looked at her and thought, 'She is so beautiful.'"
Studdard tracked McCants down in the toy department and asked for her phone number.
"We developed a friendship, and about two months later we started dating," Studdard told the Birmingham News.
The couple obtained a marriage license on Monday at the Shelby County Probate Office in Birmingham, Alabama.

Studdard, who is nicknamed the "Velvet Teddy Bear" for his silky voice and cuddly frame, will release a new album later this year.

I've never been a huge fan, but I know one of his relatives and it made me think he was even cooler.
Does anyone know if they are living in Birmingham? Or anywhere in Alabama?
I'm not far but I wasn't too sure.
