And Cokas did end up putting a ring on her finger. Their engagement was first reported in November 2007, and they tied the knot on Feb. 2, 2008, at Beverly Hills Presbyterian Church in front of more than 300 guests, including fellow Idol alums Kellie Pickler (who was a bridesmaid) and Mandisa, and House Bunny co-star Rumer Willis.

He's "the love of my life," McPhee told People at the time. "This is a once in a lifetime occasion and everything is just perfect." She wore a strapless, intricately beaded Manuel Mota gown and $250,000 worth of jewels on loan from Neil Lane.

"Her beauty and the beauty of the moment exceeded anything I could have ever dreamed of," Cokas similarly gushed. "It was incredible."

McPhee later told InStyle Weddings about the reception held at Viviana, a cathedral turned sprawling event space in downtown L.A., "I knew that I wanted a lounge area with white, antique-looking couches. I love Rachel Ashwell's style. I have always been into very old, vintage stuff, even when I was little."
