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.

Charli XCX sets pulses racing as she flashes her bottom in a wet-look ensemble and dons a sheer slip while modelling her Converse line
Charli XCX set pulses racing as she flashed her bottom while modelling her Converse line. The singer, 32, took to Instagram on Tuesday to share that she had launched a collection of trainers with the iconic brand. Charli looked sensational in an array of racy snaps modelling her 'partygirl shoes', which are available to buy in five different colours. She put on a daring display in a metallic baby pink mini-dress which was soaking wet, giving a glimpse of her bottom in a pink thong. In another look, Charli's white lacy underwear was on show underneath a sheer slip with lace lining. As she posed for pictures for the collection, Charli wore a white milk maid-style white dress. 'My partygirl shoe is available nowwwwww!!!! in 5 cute colours <3 go get themmmm!' she said. It comes after Charli was spotted at Heathrow Airport on Friday without her new husband George Daniel after their lavish London wedding. Charli exchanged vows with The 1975 drummer at Hackney Town Hall on July 19, and are believed to be having a second wedding in Sicily later this summer. But she appeared to be taking a solo long-haul trip as she pushed two silver AWAY suitcases into the departure terminal. Charli showed off her slim figure in a black fitted T-shirt and Capri trousers, teamed with ballet pumps. She attempted to keep a low-profile by wearing a pair of oversized sunglasses, and appeared downcast without George by her side. Charli and George exchanged vows in front of 20 close friends and family members, including the groom's bandmates Adam Hann and Ross MacDonald. Taking to TikTok, Charli showed off her leggy Vivienne Westwood wedding dress, which she teamed with shades and strutted into view before turning on her heels and exiting. 'My partygirl shoe is available nowwwwww!!!! in 5 cute colours <3 go get themmmm!' she said She joked: 'When George isn't crying when he sees me walking down the aisle' only to reassure followers in the caption that the drummer 'luckily did'. The 360 hitmaker also shared a glimpse of the couple's wild afterparty which saw her changing into a second white dress, this time from Nova Cora and costing a cool £3,300, as she celebrated her newlywed status with pals. Larking around George modelled his new wife's veil while puffing on a cigarette and showcasing his buff physique beneath an open silk shirt. The gang partied and danced the night away to Charli's music, captioning the clip: 'Bridal party energy!'. On her big day Charli was the epitome of style in the white mini dress which boasted a plunging boat neckline and draped detailing that she wore with a traditional veil. Slipping her feet into Jimmy Choo heels, the singer kept her long black hair loose and carried a bouquet of white flowers. Meanwhile George wore a dark double breasted suit over a light open collared shirt with a flower, that matched his wife's bouquet, in his button hole. The newlyweds posed for sweet snaps with the songstress' proud parents Jon and Shameera Aitchison. Following the wedding the couple reportedly headed to nearby by Italian restaurant Dalla where they dined alfresco and sipped Aperol Spritz before heading to their evening bash at Ellie's bar in Dalston. A source told The Sun: 'Charli's wedding reception was the epitome of Brat. Her and George wanted to keep it very cool, so they shunned cars and walked down Hackney High Street to get to Dalla. 'The restaurant had closed for them and they had a massive family style meal with loads of pasta and champagne. 'People walking past were stunned when they saw Charli and George having a cheeky pre-dinner cigarette outside.'
