American Idol's Jason Castro weds in Texas

Jason Castro, who finished fourth on Season 7 of American Idol in 2007, Tweeted his wedding announcement on Sunday, saying "Yesterday I married the girl of my dreams...It couldn't have been more perfect! Now, honeymoooon!!! :)"

On Saturday, January 2, 2010, Castro, best known for his take on the Israel Kamakawiwo'ole version of the classic "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" during his tenure on the reality competition program, battled the flu and married his longtime girlfriend, Mandy Mayhall, in his hometown of Rowlett, Texas, near Dallas.

The engagement was confirmed in November, with Castro reportedly proposing on Halloween while the two were dressed as characters from Disney's Beauty and the Beast. (Another young couple recently relied on Disney to help make their wedding special, when Danielle Deleasa walked down the aisle towards new hubby, Kevin Jonas, to the song "Bella Notte" from Lady and the Tramp.)

Last week, Castro blogged about his bachelor party that included bowling, poker, and pool.
