Brittany Hockley reveals awkward wedding vow blunder after marrying Swiss footballer Ben Siegrist in Bali
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'.

'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.

While speaking to the E4 show's dating experts, Christine opened up about her marriage to popular presenter Paddy. The pair have three children - twins Leo and Penelope, as well as Felicity. She shared: "When I met my ex-husband, he wasn't as known as what he is now. "I was 19 when I met him. I went to an event where I was modelling. "My ex-husband was there, someone introduced us. We had a laugh and kept in touch." Asked whether she'd fancied him then, Christine replied: "Yeah, I did. He had a cheeky charm, he made me laugh." Christine revealed she "struggled a lot" as a teenager, such as not knowing where she fitted or belonged. She described meeting Paddy as "perfect timing" and said it was "an easy relationship." Meanwhile, the former couple married at Thornton Manor on the Wirral in 2011. Christine McGuinness has taken a sly dig at ex-husband Paddy, claiming she now wants to date women so she can have 'a deeper connection.'

JD Vance divulges marriage secrets, why he hates debating Usha and their divergent bedroom habits
Vice President JD Vance revealed some behind-the-scenes details about how he keeps his marriage and family life together despite the disruptions of life in public office. The vice president said that he and his wife Usha have a husband/wife book club with just the two of them, which helps them literally stay on the same page. '[It's] actually forcing us to do something together that makes us think that makes us talk, that gives us something that we're talking about at the exact same time,' he said. 'That's been very good.' Vance said he has fallen behind a bit with less time to read, but that they've completed two books together since he became vice president. He said that they alternate between choices and have read, 'All the Pretty Horses,' by Cormac McCarthy, Ross Douthat's fantasy novel 'The Falcon's Children' that was 'actually pretty good,' and Abigail Shrier's book, 'Bad Therapy: Why the Kids Aren't Growing Up.' Vance spoke about his marriage and family life during the debut episode of the Katie Miller Podcast. He said he and his wife also typically have a drink together once a week, and while they used to go out to bars in Cincinnati, they now just make a cocktail and sit on the porch of the vice president's residence. Vance revealed that the stereotype of women being more emotional and men being more rational was not the case in their family. 'That's probably the opposite in our marriage, Usha's definitely like super stoic and I'm the one that gets super fired up about things,' he said. He admitted that Usha is the 'the better debater' between the two of them because of her attention to detail. 'I hate getting into arguments with her because she always remembers details and facts way better than I do,' he said. JD and Usha Vance have been married for 11 years and have three children together, Ewan, 8, Vivek, 5, and Mirabel, 3. 'We have a very happy marriage, I've been a very lucky in the person that God put me with,' Vance said. The vice president said that they do not waste time when they have a disagreement. 'We're super brutally honest about things,' Vance said. 'If Usha and I are mad about something, we usually talk about it three minutes later, and that communication has been very good for us.' Miller, who is married to White House Deputy Chief of staff Stephen Miller, worked as a communications director for former Vice President Mike Pence and after Trump won a second term, worked in communications for DOGE. She also spent time working handling press for Elon Musk, but ultimately left to start her podcast. Vance also dished on the pair's sleeping habits. When asked about his 'dad superpower,' Vance revealed that he is a light sleeper. Due to that, he's usually the first to attend to the children when they wake up in the middle of the night. 'Usha's a super heavy sleeper, I'm a very light sleeper, and I also sleep less than she does,' Vance said. He noted that he is usually the one first out of bed in the morning to have his coffee and take the dog outside. He also said that typically one of the kids wakes up about 'once a week' in the middle of the night. 'It's one of those things I kind of like, even though I don't want to be woken up at three in the morning, it's kind of nice that they still need that affection, need that attention, it reminds me that they're still babies,' he said.
