A brother’s best man speech has gone viral on TikTok after leaving 170 wedding guests and millions of online viewers in utter tears.

Sam Waldron has autism and when he was asked to give the best man speech at his brother Jonah’s wedding, he was understandably nervous to take on such an important task and huge honour. And guess what? It’s the best best man’s speech we have ever heard!

The 23 yrs old best man, started his speech by joking that he was “terrified”, explaining how his “autism can make [him] scared to interacting with people, let alone give a speech in front of 170 of them for Pete’s sake”.

Regardless, the brave younger brother soldiers on, stepping up to bat and knocking it out of the park – not to mention leaving everyone in floods of tears throughout.

Beyond his obvious admiration and gratitude for his 27-year-old brother – who is keeping it together much more than we are – Sam’s words about the bride, Maddy, are particularly touching.

His high opinion of the bride matches that of his big brother, describing how she “lights up” his other siblings, how their mother “adores” her, and how he has never felt nervous or uncomfortable around her as he has with others.

He even goes on to say: “You give me peace, you bring peace to all of those around you. I love you, Maddy”.

The second act is less rough on the old heartstrings, as he pulls out all of the classic best man roasting material: “You never rapped in front of the whole school at a pep rally, I did”; “you were never voted Homecoming King, I was”, and so on. Absolute baller.

Nevertheless, he rounds things up with an old-school Irish toast and receives a standing ovation with overwhelming applause – and rightly so.

More than five minutes of pure courage, empowerment, and, above all else, love. It’s had over 6.3 million views on the platform and it’s not hard to see why.

Wow! Fabulous speech.

This goes to show that people with “special needs” tend to understand the true meaning of life better than “normal” people.

Congrats, Sam and Maddy – God bless your home.
