Does ‘Bachelor’ Alum Selma Alameri Regret Her City Hall Wedding Ceremony To Husband Patrick Daniels?
Selma Alameri’s intimate court house wedding to her now-husband Patrick Daniels may be plain and simple, but the former “Bachelor” alum doesn’t regret a thing about it.
“Everyone told me I would regret doing it City Hall style, but I have zero regrets and even more happy with the choice than I imagined I would be,” Alameri, 29, told Entertainment Tonight. “We have been celebrating everyday with friends and family, allowing the focus to be on one person at a time, so there is no lack of celebration.”
Alameri, who tied the knot with Daniels on Dec. 29 in San Diego, California, revealed in an interview with Us Weekly that it was her decision to have a court house wedding ceremony.
“It was me who chose City Hall,” said the real estate developer, who made up her mind after her and Daniels’ family members got too involved in the wedding planning.
“Everyone got involved and had an opinion and the family started to argue,” Alameri explained. “We really didn’t want all that. We just wanted a peaceful, comfortable and smooth wedding.”
Instead of splurging on a grand wedding ceremony, Alameri said that they will just use their money on an “amazing” European honeymoon. “That, to me, will be more memorable,” she said.
Alameri revealed her engagement to Daniels in an Instagram post last June. Daniels popped the question with a giant diamond ring. See her engagement ring below:
Alameri was one of the 26 love hopefuls who competed for Sean Lowe’s heart in Season 17 of “The Bachelor.” She made headlines during her stint on the ABC dating show when he refused to kiss Lowe because of her strict Muslim upbringing. Alameri was eliminated by Lowe in week 6 of the competition due to her “unwillingness to compromise.”
“I don’t believe showing affection in public is a bad thing, but my mom does,” Alameri told People after she was sent home. “Her one simple request was don’t make out with somebody on television. We have such a strong culture and my family is big in my life, so I needed to test Sean to see if he’d respect my family and culture.”
