‘American Idol’ judge Kara DioGuardi and her longtime boyfriend Mike McCuddy, a 34 year-old teacher-turned-general contractor, tied the knot in a beautiful private ceremony at the United Methodist Church in Prospect Harbor, Maine, on Sunday (July 5).

Kara told InTouch: “I feel great. What was most unbelievable about the experience was when I looked out at the church and saw all these people that were so important to me and Mike, who were there for us. It was pretty powerful. I was very emotional and I’m not somebody who breaks down and cries.”

The lovebirds, who met when Mike built the house next to Kara’s in Maine and got engaged in December 2008, exchanged vows in front of 30 guests. The bride wore a beautiful Vera Wang gown. We will update with more photos of the wedding as soon as they became available!
