Usher’s whirlwind Sunday in Las Vegas included a dazzling performance at the Super Bowl and an intimate wedding.
The Grammy-winning artist, who headlined the halftime show at Super Bowl LVIII the same night he married longtime girlfriend Jennifer Goicoechea, chose a much more low-key setting for the latter event.
The couple’s wedding took place in the fast lane of The Fast Lane Vegas Weddings.
The venue’s website states that couples can “drive around in a private limousine, their own car or Elvis’ pink caddy!”
“Take advantage of an amazing photo op in front of a replica of the Wedding in Fabulous Las Vegas sign,” the description adds.

While other details about the wedding have yet to be revealed, Usher’s mother Jonetta Patton served as the couple’s witness, according to the wedding certificate.
A representative for the 45-year-old singer confirmed to PEOPLE in an exclusive statement that the couple married “surrounded by close friends and family.”
“They both look forward to continuing to raise their children together surrounded by love and thank everyone for their good wishes,” the statement added.
The couple welcomed their first child together, daughter Sovereign Bo, in 2020, followed by son Sire Castrello in 2021. Usher also shares two sons, Usher V and Navid Ely, with his ex-wife Tameka Foster.

“Obviously, we committed to living together for life because of our kids,” Usher continued. “It wouldn’t be weird if we got married. We’re already here. You know what I’m saying?”
“And we’ll be in each other’s lives until we die, obviously, because we have something to share. It’s beautiful. Our kids. But not because of that. I really feel like I have an amazing partner that I respect.”
