Australian entrepreneur James Hachem has come under fire after uttering a divisive seven-word sentiment about his bride at their recent lavish Italian wedding.
Hachem, 31, and Antonia Apostolou, 26, tied the knot earlier this month at Villa Pizzo in Lake Como.
The groom, clearly overwhelmed upon seeing his beautiful bride who by then was standing next to him, exclaimed in front of their 140 guests: "F--k me, does she not look insane?"
