Fantasia Ties the Knot Over the Weekend

It’s official: Fantasia Barrino is a married woman. The American Idol alum has kept us guessing about her wedded status (remember when she emerged last year sporting a wedding ring and calling her boo her husband?), but she was a loud and proud married woman on Saturday, when she tied the knot to Kendall Taylor in a waterside ceremony. Congrats, Fantasia and Kendall! [People]

This is the second time in as many weeks that Brandy has treated passersby to a random, free concert (and we’re jealous).
