Talk about a double blessing!

Hearts were broken across the land -- and cheers were heard from real supporters -- when superstar R&B performer Usher announced he was finally getting hitched!

Long time love Tameka Foster and Usher are due to walk down the aisle and they are busy planning their wedding.

That's not all they are due for. Lastest news from the Usher camp is that the Stork will be arriving some time this fall.

The couple have of course requested that adoring fans and prying media "respect our privacy" during this happy time.

God bless 'em. Dealing with pregnancy, pending parenthood and planning a wedding simultaneously is rough stuff. They'll need the privacy and peace they have asked for to prepare for all these changes in their lives!
