The season three "American Idol" winner posted images of herself in her wedding gown standing next to her husband while on a boat Monday, but didn't reveal any details about the date or location the nuptials took place.

Barrino shared her newlywed excitement with over 1 million Instagram followers while insisting that God remembered her in her time of need.

"HE COVERS ME. Be Happy with me you guys cause I've been thru SOOOOO much. Some stuff was my wrong decisions but all I ever really wanted was this. Real Love," she wrote on Instagram. "This Man and this smile is real. Later you guys bye bye for a while. God did not forget about me."

Since 2014, Barrino has been showcasing Taylor on social media while thanking God for answering her prayers in the form of her husband.

"God, I thank you!!! He's everything I prayed for," Barrino wrote on Instagram last November. "To feel protected and to have someone to Cover me in prayer. To believe when I don't Believe. Man!!!"

Taylor serves as a mentor in the Charlotte Mentors of Valor Empowered program, where his biography states that he has given his life to Jesus Christ after overcoming a sordid past filled with sex, drugs and alcohol.

"He was arrested and incarcerated in a facility hundreds of miles from home and it was in that place, at that time, that he began to clearly hear and respond to the call of God on his life. He laid down the failures of his past and began to carry his cross for the sake of Christ," his biography states on the organization's website. "Today, Kendall is determined to win souls who are lost or who lack direction. ... He has set his sights on the work of the Lord and prepares himself daily as he battles for the men who want to be what God has destined for them to be."

Radar Online previously published information about the details concerning Taylor's criminal past, which included a number of arrests from 1996 to 2007.The website reported that Taylor was a convicted felon who was previously arrested for a number of charges that include firearm possession, assault of a female, and drug possession. While some of Barrino's fans took to social media to warn her about the relationship, the singer insisted Taylor's past provides a platform for God to use him.

"I think about all the things he has told me and I'm like, man!!! Nothing but God," the singer wrote on Instagram last year. "You can't tell me God won't take something out of nothing and turn it into SOMETHING I love this man and he is crazy about me."
