Usher Raymond married his pregnant fiancée Tameka Foster on Friday in Atlanta.

The singer confirmed the nuptials exclusively to Usmagazine.com. "I exchanged vows with Tameka Foster in Atlanta on Friday and we are happily married," Usher tells Us.

The couple was originally scheduled to tie the knot on July 28 at music executive L.A. Reid’s posh pad on Long Island, but those plans were canceled after Foster was hospitalized following a pregnancy scare brought on by the stress of the wedding.

On Monday, after Foster, 37, was released from the hospital, the singer assured Us that it was only a matter of time before the nuptials would be rescheduled, and that Foster had recovered from her pre-term labor scare. "Everybody's fine. Tameka and the baby are fine," Raymond, 28, said at the time.

The small, private ceremony was originally said to have been held in the singer’s lawyer’s office. Usher clarified for Us, "We did exchange vows in a private ceremony on Friday, however it did not take place in a lawyer's office as reported. It was quaint and intimate." Despite reported bad blood between Foster and Jonetta Patton, Raymond’s mother and former manager, she was on hand Friday to witness the event, a source confirms to Us.

"They did exactly what they should have done and said they were going to do. They are very happy," a friend of the couple tells Us.

So happy they plan to do it again! Usher reveals to Us, "Tameka and I are planning on having a ceremony sometime later this year."
