While delivering a speech at a couple's wedding, the groom's sister brought out a wholesome surprise that won over the newlyweds and their guests.
Wedding speeches often add a lot of powerful moments to a couple’s special day. While most guests delivering a wedding speech tend to recall old memories with the bride or groom, one woman, the groom's sister, took a different approach. Jake and Kylee (@jakeandkylee on Instagram), a married destination wedding photographer-videographer duo, took to their social media handles to share a special moment captured at a couple's wedding. After a young man named Kasen Holbrook (@kasenjholbrook) married his fiancée, Eliza Jane Holbrook (@elizajholbrook), Kasen’s sister took to the stage to deliver a heartfelt speech for the newlyweds.
Little did the couple know, she had recorded a special wedding gift for them in secret. "When your sister secretly records a private conversation, the results are amazing!" the caption of the video read. Speaking into the mic, she began, "Okay, Kasen doesn't know this, and neither does Eliza. But I’ve been waiting for this wedding and this speech for a long time." She then recalled a moment from the past when her brother came to her room and started talking about Eliza. Without Kasen knowing, his sister had secretly recorded the conversation on her phone.
Kasen's sister had a feeling that the voice recording would come in handy someday, and sure enough, it did. As the recording began to play, Kasen’s voice echoed from his sister’s phone, and both he and his bride, Eliza, eagerly listened with amusement. In the recording, Kasen’s voice said, "She told Carter that she thinks she loves me, and she found out what love is when she met me. Dang! You might have to tell her." Kasen’s sister then responded with a playful question, "Do you feel the same way?" She encouraged him to tell Eliza about his feelings. Instead, Kasen asked his sister if he could tell her about the girl he fell in love with.
"She is literally the nicest person I have ever met. Like seriously, all the time, she is doing stuff for other people. She is always asking other people if they need anything," Kasen poured his heart out in the recording. His sister then asked him if he was going to marry her and he promptly replied that he was willing to. As the recording continued, the camera shifted focus to the Holbrook couple. Eliza held onto her husband, both of them giggling at Kasen's heartfelt confessions, clearly touched by the special moment.
The comment section was filled with well-wishes for the couple, with many praising the sister’s thoughtful and unique wedding speech idea. Viewers appreciated the heartfelt gesture and creative way she celebrated her brother’s love story, with many calling it a truly memorable and special moment. @jinnyd13 commented, "This is the best video I've seen in a long time. You can feel the love the couple has but also that the sister has for both her brother and sister-in-law." @marry.joelly.photo quipped, "Wait, this makes me want to cry." @haydenxmegan gushed, "Are you kidding me? This is the sweetest idea ever!" @mtopphotography added, "Well, now my eyes are leaking."
