Aussie influencer Brittany Hockley's wedding invite leaves guests wildly confused

Aussie reality star Brittany Hockley has shared a hilarious anecdote about how her wedding invites led to mass confusion for half the wedding guests, due to some Aussie lingo being used that went over the heads of her international guest list.

The Life Uncut podcast host is getting married to Swiss soccer player Benjamin Siegrist, and on her wedding invite she requested 'no thongs' as part of the dress code, however the meaning was utterly lost in translation for those invited who reside in Europe.

Brittany Hockley's hilarious wedding invite mishap

"Ben and I sent out the save-the-date invites and he's like, "Babe, I’ve been getting these random messages, people keep asking me about the dress code,"' she said on the Life Uncut podcast, speaking to co-host Laura Byrne.

Ben then went on to tell Brittany he had received 'four or five messages' from guests regarding the dress code, with one female guest attending asking how "strict" the dress code would be, as it wouldn't go "with her dress".

"She was like, 'How strict is it? What if it doesn't go with my dress,'" Brittany said. "And then she goes, "Well I don't understand how she's going to know if I wear it" and he was like, "She's going to see it."'

The conversation left Ben's friend wildly confused, and pissed off, as she called Brittany's dress code "perverted".

Fans loved the hilarious retelling of the events and the classic Aussie slang/language barrier striking again.

Other people shared their own woes when it came to confusing people from overseas with the term thongs.

"My dad had to explain to my English grandma one Christmas that no, he had not bought his daughter a g-string but flip flops," one person shared. "My niece came over to Australia from the UK and was house sitting, after she left the ladies house she sent her a message saying she has left her thongs behind and should she mail them to her," another told. "My niece was mortified and shocked that the lady would even mention it.. I had to explain that she left her flip flops behind."

Others were confused why thongs were even mentioned on the dress code at all. "Wait, you have to say no thongs on the dress code? Surely not," someone said. "It's in Bali," someone jumped in to explain. "Some people probably wouldn't think twice."
