  • The fact that he said that he can feel really uncomfortable around people but that his sister in law brings him peace is the best compliment she could ever receive 🥺❤️
  • @Mimi-cq4bg
    His hands are shaking and the way he's rocking side to side.... his anxiety is visible. He did he fantastic job. Just phenomenal.
  • I love him. He's brilliant and positively hilarious. What a wonderful soul. This is so touching! This brought a tear to my eyes.
  • @Rhys_hughes
    As someone who also has autism and struggles with large crowds. He did it extremely well so well it touched my heart and he didn’t let his worry get to him absolute legend.
  • @user-vi9ng4dt5r
    The way the groom is staring at his little brother with so much pride 😭
  • I'm not autistic and I could never give a speech as confident, funny and honest as this man.
  • @Waitwha
    You can see how nervous he is with him shaking the paper, but he still pulled through with an amazing speech
  • Great job, brother! What a memory you have given your new sister.
  • @izuetoniru8986
    The definition of sense of duty. Anxious but willing to get through his speech. Great guy.
  • @conorbowen3360
    "You are a great soccer player, scoring 100 goals, or whatever." Amazing line
  • @maiviffbc11
    Congratulations to the parents who raised such children. Congratulations to the older brother who became the protector and example to his siblings. And congratulations to the bride who brings peace.
  • @tammycosby4495
    That was beautiful. He was obviously nervous but he did a lot better than a lot of Best Man speeches. He’d practiced for that. Jonah, Maddie, Leo and Clair have a great brother.
  • @catvibe
    The way his sister-in-law cried from the very start of his speech.. she loves him just as much
  • @clusterjim519
    Why is it the older I get the more things like this make me shed a tear? That was some amazing amount of love right there.
  • I didn't just tear up, I almost sobbed. What an amazing speech, full of humour, honesty, and most importantly, love ❤️
  • @Thatgirl1965
    You can see the love between Brothers here. What a beautiful moment in both of their lives.
  • @Notaweebiswear
    Even though he was physically shaking at the idea of doing this, his voice never wavered. This was so great to see!
  • @mattmoser2301
    As the older brother of an autistic brother, I couldn’t help but sob as I watched this. To anybody who knows somebody with autism they are usually the most honest people around. I know he meant every word. What fantastic compliments. Thanks for being an example to all of us Jonah.

    This kid has been loved dearly throughout his life. THIS is what REAL FAMILY LOVE looks like. THIS IS WHAT REAL FAMILY LOVE DOES FOR A HUMAN.🙏
  • @callielu7485
    This speech says so much about that entire family...the love kindness and respect they clearly have for each other just shines through this young man.
