The "American Idol" star's representative confirmed to People that the 23-year-old singer had married her 42-year-old boyfriend Saturday at the Beverly Hills Presbyterian Church.

McPhee, who was the runner-up on the fifth season of the hit Fox reality series, told People her wedding was the perfect occasion.

"(Nick) is the love of my life," McPhee said. "This is a once in a lifetime occasion and everything is just perfect."

The couple met in 2005 while working on a Los Angeles theater production of "The Ghost and Mrs. Muir." They went from being just friends to becoming romantically involved -- and became engaged last year after Cokas proposed with a custom-designed engagement ring, People said.
