Usher’s mother and former manager was part of the problem, as were differences in opinion between the couple. Usher’s mother, Jonetta Patton, is against the wedding, and was only invited to the ceremony at the last minute. Her disapproval, a source told, “is one of the main obstacles.”
Usher wanted to take the reception upscale with a catered dinner from chef Jean Georges, while Foster wanted a backyard barbecue. “They only decided two weeks ago to have a wedding,” said a source. “They wanted to have it take place before the baby bump started showing.”
