Aussie groom blurts out 'rude' seven-word remark about his bride at their extravagant Lake Como wedding
Aussie entrepreneur James Hachem, once named in the Forbes Rich List, tied the knot with content creator Antonia Apostolou in an extravagant wedding ceremony at the idyllic Villa Pizzo in Lake Como in June.
Shortly before the couple exchange their vows in front of 140 guests, the happy groom blurted out, 'F*** me does she not look insane?'
The groom's gushing comment in the video highlighted just how stunning his bride looked in a showstopping lace gown featuring a low-cut fitted corset.
The crowd erupted into laughter, breaking into applause and cheers.
James can be seen wiping away tears as his bride excitedly waved to the guests.
'Everyone take a deep breathe... Today is the day that's going to live in our hearts and our memory,' the marriage celebrant said.
Antonia shared the footage on social media, with the caption: 'Aussies in the middle of their elegant Italian ceremony', poking fun at how the 'classy' moment quickly shifted when the groom swore.
The short clip has been viewed more than 500,000 times - with many divided over the groom's remarks.
'I would die of embarrassment,' one said.
'That ruined the classy moment,' another claimed.
'He's nervous, he blurted out what he was thinking - kinda cute,' one suggested.
'I would be mortified,' another added.
Some took particular issue with the groom for his 'disrespectful' choice of words.
'Why the foul language?' one asked.
'Bogans,' another said.
However, many saw the funny side as they agreed with the groom, with one saying: 'She absolutely does look stunning. Valid as f***. Congratulations.'
'When he said that in front of everyone, I started laughing but I know that he loves you,' another shared.
'Can't get more Aussie than this - and yes she does look insane,' one said, laughing as she agreed with how stunning the bride looked.
'He's not wrong,' another added.
While another pointed out: 'You can tell the non-Aussies in the comments... "oh my god, the foul language"... this couple is hot.'
Back in June, it was reported that the couple's luxurious Italian wedding cost more than $1million.
During the ceremony, Antonia stepped out in a gorgeous wedding gown with a long, flowing veil, with intricate lace embellishments, that fell into a long train.
James complemented his bride perfectly in a white shawl lapel tuxedo jacket, a white shirt, a black bow tie and a pair of black pants, finishing his look with a boutonnière.
The couple looked absolutely besotted with each other as they happily danced after the ceremony, while guests clapped along.
The fun didn't end there either, with the couple later hoisted into the air on chairs inside the villa's ballroom and celebratory fireworks were shot into the air at dusk.
James is the son of world poker champ Joe Hachem, while Antonia is a social media influencer and content creator who boasts 214,000 followers on Instagram and a further 195,000 on TikTok.

Lauren Sanchez leaves little to the imagination in a sheer backless dress as she enjoys a romantic date night with Jeff Bezos in Saint Tropez
turned heads in a risqué sheer dress as she enjoyed a romantic date night with her husband Jeff Bezos in Saint-Tropez, France on Wednesday. Just weeks after tying the knot in Venice, the newlyweds looked happier than ever as they stepped out for dinner at Cherry restaurant. The billionaire Amazon founder, 61, and Lauren, 55, were every inch the doting new husband and wife on their cosy evening. Lauren went braless and showed off her incredible figure in a backless leopard print number, flashing a black thong beneath. She walked hand-in-hand with husband Jeff, who dressed smart in navy polo shirt and grey trousers. The couple beamed while departing the Italian restaurant, which over looks the ocean. The famous couple said 'I do' in the romantic city of Venice back in June. Their $50million wedding had a star-studded guest list with many A-listers such as Oprah Winfrey, Orlando Bloom, Tom Brady, Kim Kardashian and Leonardo DiCaprio in attendance. Now Lauren wears a $5million diamond wedding ring that has fans as well as jewellers in an uproar. One of their A-list wedding guests recently revealed what their lavish nuptials were really like as they disclosed that none of the Jeff couple's 200 guests were told to sign non-disclosure agreements. Sara Foster, the daughter of David Foster, shared details about the glamorous Venetian wedding on Thursday's episode of her The World's First Podcast. While talking to her sister Erin Foster, she surprisingly revealed: 'No one signed NDAs. No NDAs.' She also said that the ceremony was 'very intimate' when asked to dish on the 'wedding of the century.' 'There's nothing. It's so interesting how the optics were this over-the-top, you know, protestors ... It's just not, it's not what it was. It actually felt very intimate.' The newlyweds shared a sweet moment during dinner as Lauren tenderly placed her head on the billionaire's shoulder She also revealed that there were 'definitely a lot of people that were not photographed' but chose to keep mum on the identities of the low-key attendees. 'I can't. I mean, that's, like, so lame. I'm not gonna do that. But it's very interesting how many people went un-photographed. It was definitely a very interesting setup.' Ellie Goulding performed at their reception, while Usher also sang at their pajama-themed brunch the next day. The happy couple got married in a restored amphitheater on the island, as Sánchez wore a high-neck, long sleeve lace Dolce & Gabbana gown that took over 900 hours of atelier to make, per Vogue. The gown featured a flared skirt, long veil, and a tight-fitting waist, with tons of buttons going up the middle.

However, most notable was a snap of her engagement ring, which boasted a massive diamond and a simple gold band. 'Locked in,' she captioned the post, which has received over 37,000 likes. Fans, friends and Emily's fellow influencer pals flooded the post with well-wishes for the bride-to-be. 'Omg,' Sopha Dopha simply put. Jacquie Alexander penned: 'Congratulations girly.' 'I still cant believe it,' Isabella Mathers wrote, adding: 'so so so happy for you guys, love you.' Even Love Island's Grace Jackson took to the comments, writing: 'Congratulations gorgeous girl.' In 2024, social media was sent into a frenzy after eagle-eyed fans noticed that Emily had appeared in almost every major Australian fashion campaign. The under-the-radar star has modelled for the likes of White Fox, Babyboo, Beginning Boutique and Hello Molly, among many others, and often appears on their websites.

The TikTok user captioned the now-viral post: 'Who is this woman and why is she the face of everything? We all recognise her right?! Who is she?' 'Like are all these brands the same actually or is she just such a baddie they all need her to model?! Help,' they added in a caption. Speaking about the now-viral video of herself, Emily told Daily Mail Australia she was 'shocked' to see her career becoming such a topic of conversation online. She shared: 'I was honestly quite shocked when my friends sent me the video and I couldn't believe how quickly it gained so many views. 'I've been so busy lately as work has really picked up for me so it was really nice to see so many people had noticed and were so supportive of my modelling.' 'I had no idea that my campaigns had reached so many people in Australia and across the world so it has been very surreal to see,' she added. Emily, who is from the Gold Coast, also revealed exactly how many brands she works with amid the speculation that she is taking over the Australian fashion market. 'Contrary to what people may think. I don't work with a huge amount of brands. I work with around eight brands on a regular basis,' she explained. 'It's difficult to say yes to everything when you have consistent jobs coming in from those you already have relationships with.
