American Idol finalist Justin Guarini has announced that he is getting married this weekend.

The singer, who finished runner-up to Kelly Clarkson in the show's first season, told Radar Online that he would tie the knot with girlfriend Reina Capodici on Saturday.

"I've known Reina since I was 15 but we didn't actually start dating until two years ago," he explained.

"Her mother was my English teacher in junior high school... I've travelled all over the world but I found the woman I love right in my own backyard."

The 30-year-old went on to say that it would be "an intimate family wedding" held at a "beautiful private estate along the Delaware River" near their families' homes.

"We won't have traditional wedding music. We'll have special arrangements by the Vitamin String Quartet of songs that mean a lot to us, by artists like Radiohead, Paramore and Peter Gabriel."

He added that the couple had also written their own vows and that Capodici's 4-year-old daughter Lola would be involved in the ceremony.
