Kara DioGuardi is a newlywed!

American Idol’s newest sharp-tongued critic married general contractor Mike McCuddy in a sunny afternoon ceremony at United Methodist Church in Prospect Harbor, Maine on Sunday.

The 38-year-old Grammy-nomited producer-singer-songwriter walked down the aisle in a strapless, mermaid-style Vera Wang confection in the company of nearly 30 friends and family members, InTouch Weekly reports.

“They are absolutely in love with each other,” says Pastor Scott Nurse, Sr., who married the couple. “When I told him he could kiss the bride, everybody cheered. It was a very close, small family-type service.”

Kara’s fellow American Idol judges were absent from yesterday’s ceremony.
