They announced their engagement in December 2011.
It's Gokey's second marriage. Idol fans may recall that the former church choir director-turned-country singer lost his wife Sophia in 2008 to complications resulting from heart surgery. In her memory, Gokey established a children's charity called Sophia's Heart.
The couple asked that wedding guests give gifts in the form of a donation.
