America Idol winner Fantasia Barrino has tied the knot. 

The 31-year-old singer, who shot to fame in the 2004 series of the hit reality TV contest, wed Kendall Taylor on Saturday evening.

Barrino shared a selection of snaps from her special day on social networking site Instagram, saying:  “How do we thank each and everyone who made Our Day one of the most unique and memorable days we will ever share…”

“To those who texted, called, or prayed during this week and up until today… Know that we love you and we know that if we had more capacity you would have been there, but you were still there in spirit… Now… We are The Taylor’s…. Here we come!”
