He tied the knot with partner Dana Voshina on Thursday, six days after starting for Israel in their World Cup qualifier win away at Estonia.
The happy couple celebrated their wedding day by sharing a series of photos and videos from the joyful occasion.
The Israeli couple have been together since 2018 and were all smiles as they made their vows before throwing an amazing party with friends and family.
However, SunSport understands the newlyweds remain stranded in Israel.
Flights out of the danger zone have been blocked with the military shutting down the airspace until June 30 as attacks continue into a fourth day since Israel launched the bombardment of Iran on Friday.
On Sunday, an Israeli strike killed the chief of Iran's armed forces intelligence unit.
Iran state 224 people have been killed in attacks since Friday while 24 people have lost their lives in Israel.
The British Foreign Office has put Israel on the 'red list', advising against all travel.
The scary incident comes three years after Solomon and political science student Voshina had to be evacuated out of Ukraine by the Israeli government.
The winger was playing for Shakhtar Donetsk when Russia invaded Ukraine.

Solomon joined Tottenham in 2023 after impressing on loan at Fulham but has played just six times for the North London club and spent last season on load at Leeds, scoring ten goals in 39 Championship games to help Daniel Farke's side secure promotion.
Solomon is not the only footballer caught up in the Israel-Iran fighting.
Champions League finalist Mehdi Taremi got stuck in Tehran after the Iranian and Inter Milan striker returned to Iran for international duty.
But after the World Cup qualifiers, he had been due to arrive in Los Angeles to link up with team-mates for the Club World Cup.
However, missile attacks on Iranian military and nuclear targets by the Israeli government saw the airspace in the country closed.

Dan Evans stuns Frances Tiafoe in first round at Queen's
The 35-year-old kept his cool on a sun-baked Andy Murray Arena at Queen's Club with a 7-5 6-2 victory. It was the former British number one's second career win over a top-20 opponent on grass, having knocked 16th-ranked Nikoloz Basilashvili out of Wimbledon six years ago. Evans, now ranked a lowly 199 and mainly competing at lower-tier Challenger events, said: 'It's always amazing to play here. I was lucky I got the wild card. Home heroics! 💪🇬🇧 Dan Evans downs No.7 seed Tiafoe 7-5, 6-2 on Andy Murray Arena!@QueensTennis | #HSBCChampionships — ATP Tour (@atptour) June 16, 2025 'I didn't know he was top 20 – but I knew he was very good. I'm happy to play some good tennis because it has been few and far between. 'Days like this are why I've been carrying on playing. I've been preparing really well and focusing on what I needed to today. 'It has been a long year so far. I've been playing the lower tournaments, but this is why I'm hanging around to try and get some wins on the grass.' A run of five games in a row did the damage, with a neat serve and volley wrapping up a tight first set. American Tiafoe had to retire from his first-round match last year after slipping over and injuring his hip. It was Evans who took a tumble early in the second set, but he recovered to consolidate another break with an ace. He had a stroke of luck when a forehand clipped the net and rolled over to clinch a second break, before wrapping up a notable win with a volley. Evans will face Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard or Brandon Nakashima in round two.

Brits face holiday turmoil as travel company loses licence
A travel firm has lost a key licence, which could leave large numbers of customers facing cancelled summer holidays. Great Little Escapes has lost its ATOL licence, leaving holidaymakers in limbo. The Sandhurst-based firm was known for offering a diverse range of holidays from adventure trips to spa retreats and family resorts but is no longer an ATOL holder. The company is different from and not connected in any way to Great Little Breaks, reports the Mirror. The Civil Aviation Authority said in a statement: "The company based in Sandhurst, Berkshire traded under the names Your Holidays, Great Little Escapes, Tunisia First and websites and "We are currently collating information from the company and will update this page as soon as possible. While waiting for further information, please do not submit a claim as these will be rejected. "If you are a travel agent of Great Little Escapes LLP and you are currently holding consumer payments which you have not yet paid to Great Little Escapes LLP, you must not use these funds to refund consumers until you have received instructions from the Air Travel Trust. "Travel agents will be individually contacted by the CAA with specific instructions for these bookings." The news came in the month after a separate British travel firm went bust. Sign up for the North Wales Live newsletter sent twice daily to your inbox Jetline Travel, a London-based firm established in 2000 and the parent company of Jetline Cruise, ceased trading as an ATOL holder in March. It has now entered administration, as reported by TTG. Alan Clark from financial recovery specialist Carter Clark, and Neil Bennett from restructuring and insolvency firm Leonard Curtis, were appointed on 28 March. Administration is a process that occurs when a business can no longer meet its debt obligations, leading to a licensed insolvency practitioner being appointed to either restructure the business and negotiate with creditors, or to sell off assets, pay off creditors and liquidate the business. Over its 25 years of operation, Jetline Travel took hundreds of thousands of people on holidays. During this quarter of a century, the firm also traded under several other names including Bargain Late Holidays, Best Priced Holidays, Cruise and More, Elegant Getaways, Our Best Holidays and Save on Sun.
