00:00 12-year-old Jordan has gone viral with his best man speech at his mom and stepdad's
00:06 wedding.
00:07 "I feel so lucky to stand by Vinny's side as he marries the love of his life, who is
00:12 actually the first love of my life.
00:16 As some people here already know, Vinny loves a good deal.
00:19 It's very rare."
00:22 Vinny came into Jordan's life after he and his mom, Sarah, met at work, and they all
00:27 soon developed a beautiful bond together.
00:30 "It's very rare he'll pay full price without doing some research first, which is probably
00:39 why we're all here today.
00:47 He saw an opportunity with my mom with a 'buy one get one free' sticker on it.
00:57 But in all seriousness, Vinny always saw my mom and I as a package deal.
01:06 He knew what he was getting into.
01:08 He makes jokes about how I'm just like my mom in certain ways.
01:12 If that didn't make him run away, nothing will.
01:18 Vinny made me feel important from the day I met him.
01:20 When I was introduced to him as my mom's friend from work, that night he gave me his
01:27 2001 Eagles team photo that was autographed.
01:30 And then he also hung a TV in my room.
01:32 And then hung many TVs after that.
01:37 At first I thought my mom was keeping him around as a handyman.
01:44 She gave him lots of jobs in the beginning and still does to this day.
01:50 As the days, weeks, and months went by and I started to get to know Vinny more, I realized
01:56 that he wasn't just a friend from work.
01:58 I had got a good feeling he wasn't going anywhere.
02:02 I could tell that he really liked my mom.
02:05 He is good to her and good for her.
02:08 He makes her happy.
02:09 He makes her laugh.
02:10 And most importantly, he agreed to get a dog with her.
02:16 Jax the dog was even part of the proposal.
02:19 The first word that comes to mind when I think of Vinny is kind.
02:22 He's probably one of the nicest people I've ever met.
02:26 So nice that even when Jax does something bad and he yells at him, Vinny finds Jax a
02:31 few minutes later and hugs him and tells him he's sorry for yelling.
02:36 Vinny, thank you for marrying my mom.
02:40 Thank you for being a role model that any kid would be lucky to have.
02:43 You are a missing piece that me and my mom didn't know we needed.
02:46 But I'm so happy we have you now.
02:48 Mom, thank you for marrying Vinny.
02:51 Thank you for choosing him for not only you, but for us.
02:54 I love you both so much and wish you a lifetime full of happiness.
