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.

EastEnders addresses Ozzy Osbourne and England's Lionesses in special scene
To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video EastEnders has paid tribute to the late Ozzy Osbourne and celebrated England's Lionesses win against Italy in a specially recorded topical scene. The BBC soap is no stranger to last-minute additions that help to cement the fictional world of Walford into reality. Over the years we've seen everything from sporting results, the death of Michael Jackson, Royal weddings and Presidential elections dropped into conversation, all filmed on the day of broadcast. Last night's episode was no exception, with a brief chat between Elaine Peacock (Harriet Thorpe) and Callum Highway (Tony Clay) discussing the previous night's footy results. Ironically, it was this match that took the show off air. He asked her how she was coping after handing over the The Queen Vic to Kat Moon (Jessie Wallace), to which she responded: 'Well, I can't be too down after that England match. I mean, 2-1?' With the two genres not really going hand in hand, you might not be aware that our women's team reached Sunday's Euro 2025 final with a dramatic comeback win against Italy during extra time. 'I'm going to tell you something, there's going to be a lot of kids named Michelle and Chloe in nine months time,' Elaine continued, referencing players Michelle Agyemang and Chloe Kelly who stepped up from the sub's bench and scored the winning goals. Callum then said it would be 'weird' watching the final without Elaine behind the bar. Elaine then joked that Kat would have to put a swear pot in front of her grandmother Mo Harris (Laila Morse) on Sunday, and that way she'll be able to retire. She then mentioned the ongoing love affair between Callum and her grandson Johnny Carter (Charlie Suff), who is away on a cruise with mum Linda (Kellie Bright). The atmosphere turned frosty and they both parted ways. Want to be the first to hear shocking EastEnders spoilers? Who's leaving Coronation Street? The latest gossip from Emmerdale?

However, some fans picked up on a little Easter egg in the background of the scene. Black Sabbath's Paranoid could clearly be heard belting out from the market, in a nod to the band's front man Ozzy Osbourne, who passed away on Tuesday aged 76. More Trending The 'prince of darkness' died in the UK, just weeks after his final performance. 'Omg I loved that new scene put in between Callum and Elaine, nice touch with Ozzy playing in the background,' said one viewer on X. 'Loved the mention of the footie & hearing Ozzy singing in the background. Well done #eastenders,' said another. View More » A third added: 'Touch of class having Ozzy playing in the background!

Spacey told actor ‘don't worry about it' after alleged assault, documents claim
Kevin Spacey allegedly sexually assaulted a young actor at a party at The Savoy hotel and then told him 'Don't worry about it', court documents for the High Court legal claim suggest. Ruari Cannon is suing Mr Spacey as well as two organisations connected to the Old Vic Theatre in London, claiming he suffered psychiatric damage as a result of sexual and emotional abuse. The 33-year-old has waived his anonymity in the claim. In court documents seen by the PA news agency, Mr Cannon alleges that Mr Spacey, who was a 'powerful figure and a world-famous actor and celebrity' at the time, assaulted him in about June 2013, when he was 'a very vulnerable young man'. Oscar-winning actor Mr Spacey has previously denied allegations of inappropriate behaviour and wrongdoing, and details of his defence are not yet available. According to the documents, filed in June, Mr Spacey was working as artistic director at the Old Vic Theatre at the time of the alleged assaults on a production of a play by Tennessee Williams known as Sweet Bird Of Youth, and Mr Cannon was a member of the cast in this production. They claim that Mr Spacey 'took a particular interest' in Mr Cannon for 'reasons of sexual interest' and sent him a 'lavish' gift of a framed poster of the 1985 production of the play directed by Harold Pinter. After the press preview of the show on June 12 2013, Mr Cannon attended a party at The Savoy in London organised by The Old Vic Theatre Company (The Cut) and The Old Vic Theatre Trust 2000. It is claimed that one of the alleged assaults took place at the event. Setting out the allegations, Elizabeth-Anne Gumbel KC, for Mr Cannon, said: 'Kevin Spacey pulled the claimant towards him, turned him around through 45 degrees and placed his left hand on the claimant's buttocks and lifted up the recess material of his suit.' It is alleged that Mr Spacey then pushed Mr Cannon's underwear 'as far up' into his bottom as possible, 'so as to cause pain and distress'. Ms Gumbel added: 'Mr Kevin Spacey pulled the claimant closer to him and whispered into the claimant's ear 'Don't worry about it'. 'Mr Spacey made more uncalled for and unwelcome advances to the claimant during the evening.' The following day, Mr Cannon reported the alleged assaults to his stage manager at the Old Vic Theatre, but no action was taken. According to the documents, it is accepted that Mr Cannon did not ask for any action to be taken, and was scared about how any further action might affect his career. Later that year, during the run of the show, Mr Cannon saw Mr Spacey at the Old Vic bar. Mr Spacey allegedly said to him, 'I hear you have a dirty secret', and then said: 'Open up.' Ms Gumbel said: 'Kevin Spacey then forced open the claimant's mouth with his fingers and thumbs and commented 'quite a bad boy' before the claimant could pull away. 'The claimant then left the bar. The forcing open of the claimant's mouth was another assault for which Kevin Spacey was responsible and for which the second and/or third defendants were vicariously liable. 'Further in 2017 when the Old Vic set up a confidential complaints email on October 31 2017 the claimant reported the above complaint again to the Old Vic.' She added that the alleged assaults were carried out by Mr Spacey in the course of his work for the organisations connected to the Old Vic, and they are 'vicariously liable' for the alleged assaults carried out in the context of a theatre production.

Love Island first look: Watch the moment screaming row kicks off after Love Island star is branded 'a snake' in villa challenge However, it looks as though Ty Isherwood, Yazmin Pettet and Blu Chegini have made it out scot-free, but will they be unaffected by the drama? What do Grafties winners get? All the couples sit at individual tables in the garden as the winners are announced to the villa. Each victor will get their own trophy and a chance to make a speech, either to laugh, cringe, or apologise. Despite what could be a great moment in the villa, the contestants are forced to confront potential feelings and deal with unresolved issues. We all remember when the drama exploded in the villa when Messy Mitch was forced to accept the award for 'Mad Moves'. Who decides the winner? Although the ceremony is decided by the public, unfortunately for Love Island fans, the vote has already closed.
