Brittany Hockley reveals awkward wedding vow blunder after marrying Swiss footballer Ben Siegrist in Bali
Brittany Hockley has opened up about the hilarious blunder she made while rehearsing her wedding vows with her Swiss footballer fiancé Ben Siegrist. The former Bachelor star, 37, revealed on the Life Uncut podcast that she tried to speak her vows in German to surprise her European partner - but did not do a very good job. 'I learned my vows in German, so I could surprise Ben at the end of the aisle... It wasn't supposed to be comedy, but Ben found it very funny,' Brittany began. Ben, 33, jumped in to reveal what Brittany's mangled vows, during a practice run, actually meant in German. 'She said, "I love you, tit fish",' he revealed. 'I almost said, "I love you, big tit fish!" Brittany added. Fortunately, Brittany's mishap only occurred during a rehearsal and the actual ceremony went off without a hitch. It comes after Brittany married her Swiss footballer fiancé Ben Siegrist during a 'three-day extravaganza' clifftop ceremony in Bali last week. But there was just one 'minor technical detail' about the spectacular nuptials - the marriage is not legal. Brittany revealed the shock news to her KIIS FM's The Pick Up listeners on Tuesday. 'You just got married in Bali,' Brittany's long-time best friend and co-host Laura Byrne said. 'We obviously can talk about how amazing that is, but now that we're here, we're also going to talk about how it's not legally binding yet.' 'It's a big show really,' the bride admitted, joking that the wedding 'was fake'. The former Bachelor star revealed on the Life Uncut podcast that she tried to speak her vows in German - but did not do a very good job 'It's complicated. My husband Ben is fully Swiss, but he lives in Italy. I'm Australian and we got married in Bali. Way too many technicalities going on to make it legal, so we are just going to legally do it back here in Australia. 'The paperwork gets signed shortly - but let's not focus on that.' The couple's wedding took place at Pandawa Cliff Estate, which promises a 'dramatic and romantic clifftop setting overlooking the Indian Ocean' and stunning views of Bali's Bukit Peninsula. The 37-year-old was ever the blushing bride on her big day, walking down the aisle in a strapless dress by Steven Khalil which featured a lace corset with dramatic long train. Brittany and Ben gave followers a glimpse into the nuptials, sharing a duo of loved-up snaps from the big day to Instagram. One showed Ben romantically embracing his new bride as he leaned in for a newlywed kiss. 'From the very first day, it was you,' Brittany captioned the images. 'Across any ocean, it is you. For the rest of our lives, it will always be you. Mr and Mrs Siegrist 4.6.2025,' she added, augmenting the sentiment with love heart emojis. The Life Uncut podcast announced Brittany's engagement to Ben last year. Brittany, who formerly described herself as 'the perpetually single host', had been dating Ben long-distance for eight months when he popped the question. The duo met in November 2022 on the celebrity dating app Raya. At the time the goalkeeper's soccer team, the Glasgow-based Celtic FC, was playing in Australia against Sydney FC.

8 (really nice) places in Dubai to go to between 5pm and 7pm for drinks and bites
So, you've finished work for the day and have some time to kill? With the summer season almost in swing and life slowing down a little bit, it's quite tempting to meet up with friends for after work drinks and nibbles. In Paris, they've got this concept called 'cinq à sept' – five to seven. It's when you've finished work for the day and the sun is starting to set, so you've got a golden window of opportunity where you can boost your mood after a day at work. Typically, people here use this time to commute, to run errands or to stick around in the office. But if you decide to do it like the French do, you can use this time to brighten up your day with a little tipple at a really nice restaurant bar. With that in mind, here's a list of our favourite fancy after-work spots. Eugène Eugène After work drinks in Dubai. Credit: Eugène Eugène. Available daily from 4pm to 7pm, you can take advantage of the L'Apéritif d'Eugène, a French-inspired offering, where for Dhs110 per person, you'll get a curated selection of two mixed drinks or mocktails, complemented by the chef's assortment of gourmet appetizers.
