Katharine McPhee Made a Missus

Katharine McPhee's weekend was better than just all right, dawg.

The American Idol finalist turned budding actress tied the knot with her longtime producer boyfriend Nick Cokas Saturday, E! News has confirmed.

The camera-ready couple swapped vows in a late afternoon ceremony at the Beverly Hills Presbyterian Church in front of 305 of their closest friends, including McPhee's fellow season-five contestants Kellie Pickler and the surname-averse Mandisa, per People, which first reported the nuptial news.

The bride donned a strapless ivory Manuel Mota wedding gown for her trip down the aisle, along with diamond and platinum chandelier earrings and bracelets from celeb-friendly jeweler Neil Lane. The groom, meanwhile, sported a penguin suit from Armani.

Sometime in the midst of her big day, McPhee found time to gush about her new status as a missus.

"[Nick] is the love of my life," the 23-year-old new bride told People. "This is a once in a lifetime occasion and everything is just perfect."

The duo, separated in age by almost two decades, became quietly engaged last year. While neither ever formally confirmed the betrothal, reports of the engagement began surfacing last fall, around the same time McPhee began sporting some serious diamond bling on her ring finger.

The camera-ready couple first met in 2005, in McPhee's pre-Idol days, when both budding thespians appeared in a Los Angeles production of The Ghost and Mrs. Muir.

They continued their professional relationship last year, when it was announced McPhee would star in the independent film, The Last Caller. Cokas, 42, was one of the film's producers.

McPhee will next be seen on the big screen this August, when she stars alongside Anna Faris and Rumer Willis in the dark sorority comedy, I Know What Boys Like.
