A 12-year-old boy gave a wholesome speech at his mom's wedding, standing up in front of guests and expressing his happiness that his stepdad was set to marry her. Youngster Jordan made the loving gesture at his mom Sarah's wedding to stepdad Vinny at Manufacturers' Golf & Country Club in Fort Washington, Pennsylvania, on May 27. With the mic in his hand, Jordan said he felt "so happy to stand by Vinny’s side as he marries the love of his life, who’s actually the first love of my life." Such comments brought about loving awws from the audience – and the 12-year-old even threw in a joke or two to make his audience laugh. Jordan jibed that Vinny "loves a good deal" and that he and his mom were a "buy one, get one free" package. After making it through the main body of his speech, Jordan then said that he was so happy Vinny was marrying his mom, who he praised and wished a lifetime of happiness.

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.
