Usher humorously recalled informing his family of their decision to have an Elvis impersonator officiate the ceremony, a choice that perfectly encapsulated the unique and spontaneous spirit of their Las Vegas wedding.
The confirmation about their nuptials taking place at Vegas Weddings' drive-thru tunnel, The Fast Lane, with Usher's mother, Jonnetta Patton, serving as the witness, further illustrated the couple's desire for an intimate and memorable celebration.
Despite the spontaneity of their legal marriage, Usher hinted at the couple's intention to host another "incredible, over-the-top wedding," promising a future event filled with grandeur and celebration.

"My kids, I love you guys so, so much," Usher added, rounding off his speech with a heartfelt acknowledgment of his children's impact on his life.
