Entrepreneur James Hachem, from Australia, married social media influencer Antonia Apostolou by Lake Como in a ceremony that reportedly cost up to £500,000 and included celebrity guests. Antonia wore an intricate lace gown with a low-cut fitted corset and the look was finished with a flowing veil which also had lace embellishment.The wedding was posted on their social media accounts including TikTok but a comment that slipped out by James left many shocked.


Antonia has more than 100,000 followers on her TikTok account and she shared a clip which was captioned: 'Aussies in the middle of their elegant Italian wedding.'
And in the video Mr Hachem, who was featured on the Forbes' 30 Under 30 list in 2021, disrupting their vows, to suddenly blurt out how stunning the bride looked. 'F*** me does she not look insane?' he asked the wedding guests.
Antonia could be seen laughing at the comment while the seated guests watching on clapped and cheered. James can be seen wiping away tears as his bride excitedly waved to the guests. 'Everyone take a deep breath... today is the day that's going to live in our hearts and our memory,' the marriage celebrant said.

Mr Hachem, is the founder of of the skincare brand Alya Skin and clothing company Sasha Therese, and among the people at the lavish wedding were bar tsar Nick Russian and his wife Rosalia, along with Jackson Warne - the son of late cricketing great Shane Warne.
James' seven word remark including the expletive has now been viewed more than 500,000 times with some people loving it and calling it 'gold' while others felt it was 'vulgar' and out of place.

One person wrote: 'He's nervous, he blurted out what he was thinking - kinda cute,' while another comment read: 'She absolutely does look stunning. Valid as f***. Congratulations.'
A further wrote: 'When he said that in front of everyone, I started laughing but I know that he loves you,' and another shared: 'Can't get more Aussie than this - and yes she does look insane.'
While another person pointed out: 'You can tell the non-Aussies in the comments... 'oh my god, the foul language' ... this couple is hot.'

DIY expert names viral painting hacks actually work this summer

Painting your home can be a messy mistake-filled nightmare - luckily, a DIY expert reveals which viral painting tips to follow and which ones you might be better giving a miss Summer is prime time to try and cover up all of the stains and cracks in your paint – but an expert warns not all painting hacks are worth following. Painting can be a difficult chore, particularly given that it can make a massive mess of your home if done incorrectly. ‌ For less experienced painters, social media is a popular resource for learning new DIY tips and tricks – the only problem? Not all of these suggestions are as effective as they seem. Luckily, DIY expert and Ronseal brand manager Jimmy Englezos has given his verdict on five of the most popular viral painting trends, so you know which to follow and which to ignore. ‌ ‌ UK households warned over common hosepipe mistake that costs you money 1. Placing a piece of paper over a hole in the wall to hide it With 25.8M views on TikTok, this hack aims to address the problem of painting a wall with a hole or a dent in the plaster by hiding the area with a sheet of paper. You simply paint over the area while holding the paper in place so that it dries, covering the hole. Jimmy advises: 'While this may look like an ideal solution for a quick cover-up, leaving the damaged area unrepaired for a time may lead to more problems down the line.' He adds: 'The best way to repair a hole or any wall damage is to use a quality filler. With Ronseal 5 Minute Filler, you can cover the damaged area, and within five minutes it will be touch dry. After a further ten minutes, it's ready to be painted over.' ‌ 2. Using a credit card to cut in to a wall It can be hard to paint with precision. According to one TikTok user, you can make things easier by applying paint to a bank card and using it to paint clean lines around door frames and other edges. But Jimmy warns that this trick isn't quite as simple as it may appear. He says: 'The paint tends to slide off the smooth surface of the card, which can cause drips or smudges and you'll also end up covering your card in paint. Also, only being able to paint the length of a credit card in one stroke each time is going to get quite tedious, which could see attention to detail diminish as you spend more time on the process. 'Instead, I recommend investing in a high-quality brush and applying paint lightly. You can also use decorators' tape to mask off edges and ensure crisp lines.' ‌ 3. Applying paint with a tanning mitt One TikTok user demonstrated how she uses a tanning mitt to paint a door instead of a brush. She used the mitt to first apply a base layer and then add the topcoat, and while the result looks great, should home decorator's consider using a tanning mitt instead of a paint brush? Jimmy says that while you can certainly use a tanning mitt while painting, it's better used for specific jobs. He recommends: 'They can be used in tight spaces, like stair railings and bannisters, where their flexibility can help those with less experience achieve better control.' Although, he adds that you will always get 'a better finish' with a brush. If you can encounter awkward hard-to-reach areas, there are specialist brushes that you can pick up to help. ‌ 4. Mixing water into paint to help cover a larger area Looking to increase your paint's longevity? This TikTok hack suggests adding a small amount of water to your paint and mixing it to increase the paint's coverage. However, Jimmy suggests that this is often unnecessary. It also could have a negative impact on the end result. He explains: 'Most modern paints are formulated to offer maximum coverage without the need to add water. I would advise against adding water to any paint product unless expressly instructed to do so on the tin itself. 'Adding water to paint will not only result in making the paint thinner, but it can also impact durability and the number of coats required to get a nice-looking finish.' ‌ 5. Using a sheet of acetate or paper to paint skirting boards An Instagram user has suggested placing a piece of paper under the area that you are painting in order to help stop any paint from splattering on the floor. Jimmy says that this a great idea for those painting indoors. He said: 'This is a simple and cost-effective trick to avoid a mess when painting skirting boards. These can be tricky due to them running flush to carpet, or hard flooring , and protective sheets can often get in the way, or smudge paint, as they typically won't be able to neatly tuck under skirting boards to protect flooring. 'Using a sheet of paper to tuck nicely under the gap between the skirting board and flooring allows you to paint with a faster pace as the paper will catch any excess paint in the process. Painters should exercise caution when removing the paper as any considerable drips of paint will weigh the paper down and could undo this hack in seconds.' He also advises that for carpeted rooms, it might be better to use a more structured material like card or acetate.

Sunrise reporter reveals heartbreaking family tragedy during interview with actress Selma Blair: 'I was fifteen'

A Sunrise reporter has opened up about the heartbreaking tragedy that saw her lose her mother. Mylee Hogan sat down with Selma Blair on the breakfast show to discuss the actress' battle with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) on Monday. Legally Blonde's Selma spoke about the harsh side effects of the illness, such as fatigue and joint pain, as well as the difficulty of juggling the disease with being a single mum to her son Arthur. During the conversation, the Aussie reporter revealed her own personal struggle with the debilitating condition. 'Well, I feel like I wouldn't be honest if I didn't share this, but I lost my own mother to Multiple Sclerosis, so I feel like I have an understanding...' Mylee admitted. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Selma, taken aback, offered her condolences to Mylee in a heartfelt moment. 'I'm so sorry. So you understand the fatigue and mother in bed... Was that so hard for you. Were you so young?' she asked the journalist. 'I was fifteen when she passed away,' she revealed, adding that she understood how hard it was for Selma's son to watch his mum suffer. In April, Selma gave an incredible update on her years-long battle with MS after hitting numerous red carpets with the help of a cane or service dog. The Cruel Intentions star attended The Daily Front Row's 9th Annual Fashion Los Angeles Awards where she revealed she is now 'truly in remission'. 'I am doing amazingly well. I've been feeling great for about a year,' she told People at the event held at the Beverly Hills Hotel. 'But I am finally well enough to really, genuinely... I always try and feel my best, but now that I actually have stamina and energy and getting out and going out isn't so scary.' Selma was asked what she's looking forward to now that she has her health back and she said she hasn't had any dreams since her diagnosis. In April, Selma gave an incredible update on her years-long battle with Multiple Sclerosis after hitting numerous red carpets with the help of a cane or service dog 'I think maybe since the diagnosis,' she explained when asked what she meant. 'You're just tired all the time. I spent so much of my life so tired from being unwell that I think I just was trying to get through the day.' Blair continued: 'And now it's like, wait, I realise I don't know what my goals are.' She went on to say that her thoughts are 'much more career-oriented' these days and said she'd love to get back into acting and that is something she is actively working on. Blair announced that she had officially been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in an Instagram post that was shared in August of 2018, revealing she 'hurts all the time' because of her illness. Multiple sclerosis is a condition in which the immune system attacks the body and causes nerve damage to the brain and spinal cord. It is an incurable, lifelong condition.

The singer-songwriter is set to deliver a medley of his iconic hits to Aussie audiences alongside homegrown star Guy Sebastian, who will sing his new track, Get It Done. Richard released a statement following the announcement, revealing that his passionate Aussie fans inspired him to bring 'something special' to his Logies performance this year.
