R&B star Usher's wedding to Tameka Foster on Saturday (28Jul07) was scrapped because of a series of disagreements between the pair, according to reports. The superstar was hoping to wed his pregnant fiance on Saturday afternoon (28Jul07) at record executive Antonio 'L.A.' Reid's home in Long Island, New York. But the ceremony was called off just hours before the pair were due to get married, allegedly due to a string of differences in opinion between the couple and Usher's mother's disaproval of the impending nuptials. A source tells People.com, "Usher's mother (and former manager, Jonetta Patton, whom he fired in May) is against the wedding. That is one of the main obstacles. They only decided two weeks ago to have a wedding. They wanted to have it take place before the baby bump started showing". However, another source tells the site, "Usher changed his mind" on the day, adding, "(the couple) had a lot of differences about the details. For example, the bride wanted barbeque, (Usher) wanted to have (renowned chef) Jean Georges cook. (Due to the differences, the wedding) "was on again off again for the past few days. (Foster) was calling it off because she wasn't getting the things that she wanted. The mother was calling it off. ... Usher was calling it off". Usher's spokeswoman, Patti Webster issued a statement on Saturday (28Jul07), refusing to comment on whether or not the couple had split. She said, "No additional information will be given regarding the circumstances of the cancellation, but we hope the privacy of this matter will be respected". Usher announced his stylist girlfriend Foster was pregnant in January and the couple confirmed engagement reports in June (07).
