‘American Idol’ Finalist James Durbin Marries

“American Idol” finalist James Durbin has married longtime girlfriend Heidi Lowe in a New Year’s Eve ceremony at the edge of a California redwood forest.

The couple says in a statement that the wedding in a Santa Cruz Mountains chapel was a perfect way to kick off 2012.

The Contra Costa Times reports the 85 guests included their 2-year-old son, Hunter, who was the ring bearer.

Other guests included fellow “American Idol” alums Haley Reinhart, Stefano Langone and Casey Abrams.
