She wore her brunette tresses down and carried an arrangement of red and white flowers for her bouquet.

'He promised me forever!!' she gushed in the caption.

Explaining their reason for marrying in city hall, Selma told Us Weekly:  'Everyone got involved and had an opinion and family started to argue — we really didn't want all that, we just wanted a peaceful, comfortable and smooth wedding. 

Selma appeared on season seventeen of The Bachelor.

The star refused to kiss the show's 'bachelor' Sean, who went on to pick and marry Catherine Giudici, and revealed she rejected his advances because she didn't want to offend her Muslim family. 

'I can’t kiss you,' she told Mr Lowe after a day of rock climbing. 'My mom — she's very strict in her culture.' 

The dating contestant continued: 'We’re not even allowed to date, basically — not that we're not allowed to date.

'Obviously we're allowed to date… In our culture we sort of keep it secret from everyone.' 

Chris Harrison, the host of The Bachelor, elaborated on Miss Alameri's refusal to kiss Lowe, telling Entertainment Weekly: 'Selma is Iraqi. She was born Muslim. I don't believe she is now, but her family is, and they're very strict and very conservative.'

'While she doesn’t necessarily have the same beliefs as her family, she definitely respects her family and their wishes. Just being on the show, as you'll see, is a huge deal for her.'
