R&B star Ne-Yo and model fiancée Crystal Renay ties the knot

The R&B star and model fiancée Crystal Renay tied the knot Saturday in front of family and friends on at Terranea Resort in Rancho Palos Verdes, near Los Angeles. 

"We can't wait to start our life together, we're looking forward to just being each others' best friend. I kind of knew right away," he says, adding: "From that first encounter, I knew there was something different about her, something special." 

The happy couple's big day comes just before they will welcome their first child together (Ne-Yo is already dad to daughter Madilyn Grace, 5, and son Mason Evan, 4, from a previous relationship). And the expectant bride took her growing belly into consideration as she got her gown. 

"This is big for me. I'm not doing this again, so I'm happy that my family and friends are able to be there to share this moment with us," says Ne-Yo. "We're human being, so we're gonna bump heads on different things, but we've agreed that this is gonna be a marriage that lasts."
