What would you do to celebrate after performing at the Super Bowl?
If you’re Usher you get married to your longtime girlfriend Jennifer Gocoechea, who’s the mother of 2 of your children.
That’s what Usher did after performing at this year’s Super Bowl in Las Vegas. In a private ceremony with a small group of friends and family, Usher married Jennifer Gocoechea.
And it sounds like a super romantic wedding (that’s meant to be ready with a heavy dose of sarcasm).
According to reports, Usher and Jennifer exchanged their wedding vows at Vegas Weddings’ drive-thru tunnel The Fast Lane, and Usher’s mother Jonetta Patton was the couple’s witness, at least that’s what the couple’s official marriage certificate says.
Like I said, it sounds super romantic.
Not that anyone’s counting, but this is Usher’s third time walking down the aisle, and Jennifer Gocoechea’s first time getting married.
And Usher isn’t alone. An estimated 120,000 weddings are performed in Las Vegas every year. Las Vegas accounted for 3.5 percent of the United States’ wedding market share in 2021. The wedding industry in Las Vegas accounted for 4 percent of tourism and generated $88 million in tax revenue for 2021.
Every year in the United States, there are approximately 2.5 million weddings. The United States wedding industry was estimated to be worth about $70.5 billion as of 2022.”
Let’s hope Usher’s third time getting married is the charm!
