An Australian groom using the F-word while complimenting his bride has divided social media commenters.

Entrepreneur James Hachem, who is a founder of the skincare brand Alya Skin and clothing brand Sasha Therese, wed social media influencer Antonia Apostolou in Italy in June.

Apostolou shared a snippet of the Lake Como wedding on her TikTok account, where she has more than 4 million likes and close to 200,000 followers.

It showed the groom asking the wedding guests “f*** me does she not look insane?” during the ceremony.

Apostolou, who has changed her surname to Hachem on social media, smiled at the statement with the guests cheering and clapping along.

She captioned the post “Aussies in the middle of their elegant Italian ceremony”.

Commenters on the video, which was amassed over 500,000 views, were split between praising the cheeky remark and criticising it.

One person branded it “gold” and another said, “best moment”.

“You married the right man,” someone else said.

Another commented “this or nothing”.

On the opposite end of opinion, one person sarcastically said “wow what a guy so classy”.

Another commenter said “so I’m guessing he’s not the one with the money after he opened his mouth omg”.

“That ruined the classy moment”, said another.

Others commented “Why the foul language?“ ”ick" and “proof money can’t buy class”.
