Castro, 22, married his girlfriend, Mandy Mayhall, in Texas on Saturday (Jan. 2). "Yesterday I married the girl of my dreams...," Castro tweeted early Sunday. "It couldn't have been more perfect! Now, honeymoooon!!! :)"

Mayhall and Castro have known each other since high school and started dating in 2008. He proposed on Halloween.

Castro, who finished fourth on "American Idol" in 2008, will release an EP called "The Love Uncompromised" on Jan. 12 -- the same day "Idol" begins its new season on FOX. A full-length album will follow in the spring, and he's headed back out on tour later this month.

I really thought he was a stand-out artist -

he's a stand-out artist alright, but not in a good way.

Congratulations Jason! I hope you will have a happy life. You are a terrific singer. I'll buy your cd when it comes out.

Hottest guy ever on Idol.

I think you are too young to get married, when you just starting your career in music business. You should stabilized your career first and then married, since you are still so young. Why in a hurry??? I'm not really your fan and not a teenager either but I hope that your teenager fans will still love you after you get married.
