The rumors have been confirmed by The Associated Press.

Ruben "The Velvet Teddy Bear" Studdard got married this weekend to Surata Zuri McCants at a church in a suburb of Birmingham, Alabama.

But the report says, there was no singing at the 30-minute ceremony on Saturday. (Now that's strange!)

There was just an exchange of vows, prayers and music provided by a string ensemble, said the report taken by The Birmingham News who had a reporter at the ceremony.

The groom, nicknamed on American Idol for his big frame and sonorous voice, wore a black tuxedo with white bow tie for Saturday's ceremony. His bride wore a white and ivory wedding gown. Alabama will be their home.

Studdard, who is a R&B and gospel artist, is expected to release a new album later this year.
