American Idol judge Kara DioGuardi wed longtime boyfriend, contractor Mike McCuddy, Sunday in Prospect Harbor, Maine, Usmagazine.com has confirmed.

Pastor Scott Nurse, Sr. - who officiated the ceremony at the Prospect Harbor Methodist Church - told Us their wedding was "very sweet."

"They are absolutely in love with each other," he told Us. "When I told him he could kiss the bride, everybody cheered. It was a very close, small family-type service."

The 20-minute ceremony was attended by 30 of the couple's closest friends and family members -- but not her Idol peers.

"I don't think they'd appreciate an invitation to Prospect Harbor, Maine," the bride told Us last month at the 40th annual Songwriters Hall of Fame Ceremony in New York City. "I can't really see Simon Cowell landing in Prospect Harbor. I don't think that would happen."

DioGuardi and McCuddy got engaged last December while on vacation in Mexico. They announced their engagement the day of her Idol debut on the show's eighth season premiere Jan. 13.

    I don't like her as a judge on AI, she is boring and has nothing original to say, I agree that she says what the other judges say most of the time.

    You know congrats on the wedding and all but don't like her attitude and she is way too dramatic for the show. Paula's drama is cute and funny. Kara is just a want a be! Simon, Paula, & Randy are the show, kick her to the curb and let her get on with her life

    Everyone on idol ignores her according to people there all the judges go talk to fans and sign autographs while she sits at the judges table by herself. This is what everyone is saying. I kinda DONT want her back she is boring and says whatever the other judges say.

    Best wishes to Kara and her new hubby! I think Kara was a great additon to the panel of American Idol judges. She always had some nice things to say, but yet could give constructive criticism when needed. I'm glad that Kara's found happiness in her personal life as well. But Simon & company should have been there to help her celebrate.

    I'm really happy for them! Also, if she would've invited her Idol peers then all the paparazzi would've been there and it wouldn't have been small and private like they wanted. Close family and friends is really what's important at your wedding.

    She didnt invite any of the other Idol judges because she dindt want them there. Isnt it obvious? Its their decision weather to attend or not, Kara cant say "I cant see Simom at the Harbor" Invite them then let them give you a reply. That just a slap in their faces.
