Aussie groom blurts out 'rude' seven-word remark about his bride at their extravagant Lake Como wedding

Daily Mail​5 days ago
A groom has raised eyebrows with his 'rude' seven-word remark at the altar just moments after his stunning bride walked down the aisle.
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.

Love Island star Emma reveals real reason she and Harry discussed winning £50k after ‘game plan' rumours

LOVE Island's evicted bombshell Emma Munro has opened up on the real reason she discussed the show's whopper cash prize with Harry Cooksley. Love Island 2025 OG Harry was left stunned when his real-world ex Emma entered the Mallorca compound, and he could be heard saying: "Oh my god, it's my ex." 6 6 6 Fans then previously insisted the late arrival should win the series after dishing out home truths to Harry before revealing the real reason for their split. Yet their connection then appeared to take a turn - after Harry pulled Emma for a chat and they enjoyed some new banter about PDA, as fans claimed the brunette's "real mask had slipped." This was exacerbated when she was heard discussing the show's £50K cash prize pot on the ITV2 series. In spin off show Aftersun, host Maya Jama directly asked the TV show star why. She said: "You're one of the few Islanders who have actually mentioned the 50k." Emma replied: "We have broken the fourth wall," to which Maya said: "You did, can you clarify what you meant by that? "I think you said something after like 'ahh play along' something like that?" Emma giggled before she said: "Look I'm glad you brought that up because the whole thing was a complete joke. "Harry and I had nothing else to talk about and we are both really playful but I can confirm there was no game plan and we were just being silly. "None of it was serious." SPEAK OUT As well as his flirting with ex Shakira Khan and new bombshell Angel Swift, footballer Harry was previously seen telling his ex Emma that he still loves her, prior to her being dumped from the island.

The late Queen was the victim of multiple pranks at the hands of her favourite son Prince Andrew, royal insider reveals

Queen Elizabeth II was the victim of multiple pranks at the hands of her favourite son Prince Andrew. The Duke of York's mischievous behaviour towards his mother was revealed by Robert Lacey in his book Battle Of Brothers. His practical jokes included putting itching powder inside his mother's bed and creeping behind a member of the Queen's Guard and tying their shoelaces together. The prince's most dramatic stunt involved climbing on the roof of the palace to change the direction of the TV aerial so the Queen could not watch her favourite horserace from Sandown Park. Despite his naughty actions, it is likely that Andrew was able to get away without any repercussions due to his coveted position as the late Queen's favourite son. Their close relationship was believed to have been because of the timing of Andrew's birth during the Queen's reign. The Duke of York was born in 1960, eight years after the Queen was crowned, while Charles and Anne had been toddlers when their mother became the monarch. This meant that, during their formative years, Elizabeth was busy on royal tours and learning to navigate her new role as Queen. But by the time Andrew was born, she had grown into her role much more and was therefore able to take a much active role in his, and younger brother Edward's, upbringing. For example, Elizabeth was able to even pick up the two boys from school in her own car and even attend sports days. A royal insider previously told the Telegraph, that Elizabeth liked Andrew because he was 'straightforward' and could make her 'laugh and raise the family's spirits'. On the other hand, she found Prince Charles 'emotionally complicated'. Meanwhile, Andrew's military service during the Falklands Wars was a source of great pride for his parents and made the prince the darling of the press. However, Prince Philip had a much less warm relationship with Andrew. Royal author Ingrid Sewell wrote in her book, My Mother And I, that Philip 'berated' Andrew for being 'pointless' and he believed the Duke of York 'failed to reach all his family's expectations'. In stark contrast to his relationship with the Queen, Andrew is known to have a more distant relationship with his older brother, with Charles going as far to claim in 2019: 'The problem with my brother [Andrew] is that he wants to be me.' Royal aides have gone as far as to claim that Andrew 'looked down on Charles' and 'thought he would make a much better king than his eldest brother'. His rude behaviour also extends to members of royal staff, with an aide telling royal expert Tom Quinn in his book, Gilded Youth, that Andrew 'was always curt to the staff and dismissive of them – he treated them as if we were living in the Middle Ages.' In 2022, Andrew was accused of 'overbearing' and 'verbally abusive behaviour' towards Palace staff. Former royal protection officer Paul Page has claimed he personally made three separate complaints to the Palace during the time he worked in the Royal Protection Command from 1998 until 2004. Speaking to The Sunday Mirror, Mr Page said that he is aware of 'at least a dozen' other reports made by colleagues about the Duke of York. 'The Palace has a problem because there are instances and evidence of Prince Andrew being overbearing and verbally abusive,' he told the newspaper. Mr Page alleged his complaints during his time working for the Palace were ignored because senior courtiers wanted to avoid agitation. While for many years Andrew was celebrated as the royal family's 'scallywag', Lacey wrote that the Prince's 'dubious choice of business contacts' have 'came to shadow his reputation'. This culminated in Andrew stepping down from his role as a working member of the royal family following his infamous interview with BBC Newsnight about his relationship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. More recently, there was further controversy when it was uncovered that he unknowingly struck up a friendly relationship with an alleged Chinese spy. It was even reported that Andrew extended an invitation to the man, known as H6, to visit Buckingham Palace. The man was later banned from Britain by the Government on national security grounds. Since stepping down, Andrew has been involved in an ongoing scuffle with Charles over the Royal Lodge. Located in the leafy countryside surrounded by greenery, the Royal Lodge, which Prince Andrew shares with his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson, is just three miles from Windsor and 25 miles from London. Charles reportedly wants his younger brother to move out of the lavish 30million Royal Lodge, which has been in the family for centuries, and into Frogmore Cottage, the former residence of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. But moving Andrew hasn't been easy, as a 75-year contract he signed in 2003 means that he can continue living there, as long as he can afford the cost of upkeeping the 30-room mansion. Speaking of Andrew's potential move to Frogmore in January this year, Royal expert Ingrid Seward said: 'It's going to cost him a tenth of what it costs him at Royal Lodge, but that's not how Andrew thinks. He has serious delusions of grandeur and he thinks he needs to live in a house like that. 'If King Charles wants him to leave Royal Lodge, well he's going to have to use persuasion, because legally he can't move him out as he's rented it from the Crown Estate. 'If he can't keep up the roof and the outside and all the things a big house needs, he could be in contravention of his lease and that's the only way he could be moved out.'

Heartbreaking tributes to ‘little ray of sunshine,' 13, who was ‘always happy & smiling' after her sudden death

THE family of a teen who tragically died suddenly have paid tribute to the young girl praising her as a 'quirky ray of sunshine." Robyn Lott died suddenly, aged 13, on July 14, family members have since launched a GoFundMe to cover the funeral costs. 3 Her mother, Alison Ward, led tributes for the tragic teen describing her as an animal lover who was passionate about fashion. The devastated mum has received an outpouring of support from people who knew Robyn. Robyn's family have asked that those attending the funeral wear casual clothing. People have also been asked to wear ears and tails if they wish, with these accessories often worn by Robyn. Only family flowers are being requested but people are being asked to donate teddy bears, which will be donated to charity, if they want. Devastated mum Alison said: 'She was an angel. Her smile lit up the room and she was always smiling and happy – she had this brightness inside her as she was one of those bright, happy people. "She was also very quirky and didn't 'follow the crowd'. She was her own person and she owned that. 'She was a little ray of sunshine and my absolute world. We would often blast music, dance around the kitchen and sing at the top of our voices – my phone is full of selfies of us doing silly, funny things. 'Robyn loved animals. We have a lot of pets and she has always been close to them. "She loved fashion and she used to dress up and accessorise when she was little – she was so creative and loved drawing. She had her own style and was so unique – she wasn't one to follow the crowd or any particular trends." 3
