In March, the “You Got It Bad” singer addressed to ET about the occasion and shared why he and Ms. Raymond chose this moment to say “I do.”
“It was an incredible moment that we thought was amazing,” he told ET. “It was a push of a button at the end of an incredible run in Las Vegas. My mother was there, her mother was there, the children were there, our immediate family was there. In fact, everyone was surprised. I’m like, ‘No, no, no, we’re having a wedding right now.'”
