"Idol" love!

"The Insider" has confirmed that former "American Idol" champ Ruben Studdard tied the knot with his fiancé, Surata Zuri McCants, in his hometown of Alabama on Saturday!

OK! magazine says that the couple of two years wed in a black-and-white themed ceremony at the Canterbury United Methodist Church in Mountain Brook, Ala., and that nearly 200 guests attended.

Ruben, 29, and his groomsman all wore Joseph Abboud, OK! reports, adding that "Idol"'s season two champ (a.k.a. "The Velvet Teddy Bear") told The Birmingham News that he met his bride Surata, 30, while signing copies of his CD at an Atlanta-area Wal-Mart.

"We started talking, and she was telling me about her friend. But I just looked at her and thought, 'She is so beautiful,'" he said, continuing: "God has given me a beautiful wife. I am looking forward to having fun with her and enjoying all the blessings that have come my way so far."

  • His bride is beautiful and they make an amazing couple.
    So don't say she looks "like a man". That's disrespectful.
    Ruben has great values and beliefs. He will make a great
    family man.
    Congratulations you two, and Michigan wishes you the best!
