She fixed a sheer veil in her golden tresses and carried a bouquet of cream and pink roses in one hand for the ceremony.
The couple appeared to be in married bliss as they smiled for the cameras and cheered on their special day.

‘Since the show, life has been pretty damn amazing,’ he shared with Daily Mail Australia at the time.
‘I have enjoyed and embraced the public’s affection towards me, hosting events, sharing my life to fans on Instagram, and ultimately, finding the love of my life in Dominique!’
The couple’s love story began in September 2022 after they matched on a dating app and enjoyed a first date at Southbank in Brisbane.
