Tuesday, Feb. 11 marks the couple’s first wedding anniversary after theirsweet and intimate Las Vegas weddingfollowing Usher’s star-studdedSuper Bowl halftime showat Allegiant Stadium.
The singer, 46, serenaded his wife with his own version of Robin Thicke’s “Angels” in a clip posted on Instagram.
“All the things I’ve done before this, they don’t mean a thing,” Usher opened the ballad while playing the piano.
“Angel, my angel” he sang in the chorus, before winking at the camera and wishing Goicoechea a happy anniversary.
The same sentiments were echoed in the caption, where Usher wrote: “Happy Anniversary Boogs. So happy the Universe brought us together. God truly blessed me. You’re my Angel.”
The two tied the knot at Vegas Weddings’drive-thru tunnel The Fast Lane. On the special day, the “Caught Up” singer — whose real name is Usher Raymond IV —wore an abstract, asymmetrical black and white tux, while Goicoechea rocked a chic all-white, off-the-shoulder pants suit with white designer glasses and sparkly cream gloves.

The bride also wore a long, white veil draped over her short black bob, with the words “Mrs. Raymond 02.11.24” in large embroidered writing across the sheer front, as a nod to her taking the singer’s last name and their wedding date.
In September 2023, Usher revealed in an interview with theNew York Postfor its“Music to My Years” video seriesthat his wedding plans werejust as spontaneous as they seemed. The singer explained that he and Goicoechea made the impromptu decision to tie the knot afterobtaining their marriage licensea few days prior to his anticipated performance at the sporting event.

Shortly before the couple’s big day, Usher told PEOPLE in an exclusive interview thathe was ready to get married.
“Listen, when you find someone that you know is a great partner, of course it is an honor and a pleasure to be able to share life with someone who wants to share it with you and loves you, who you are,” he said. “We’ve obviously made a commitment to life for life together because of our children. It wouldn’t be odd for us to get married. We already did here. You know what I’m saying?”
Usher continued, “And we’re going to be in each other’s lives until we die, obviously, because we have something to share. That’s beautiful. Our children. But not because of that. I really do feel like I have an amazing partner that I respect.”
