"I'm gonna talk a little about my sister; we first met in the early 90s," he says as the crowd bursts out in laughter. He continues to add that he wasn't necessarily thrilled to meet her after she was born. "I can't say I was overly interested in meeting her, but my parents felt I wasn't enough." He then starts talking about her baby weight.

"When she was born, she was a big girl; some would say, 'hefty'. She was 9lbs and 10oz, they wheeled her out into the hallway, and my first word to her was 'gross'. We locked eyes, and there it started - sibling rivalry. Her first word to me was 'sabotage'." He went on to speak about her as she grew older. "She became wise; she was my shadow. She followed me everywhere, she studied me, and she knew what made me happy and exactly how to set me off."

He then starts listing all her worst moments, "She would stand in front of glass and hand me marbles and love every minute of the result. She knew how to play my parents and grandparents. My grandparents even developed a point system where we would score points for doing good deeds and being good to one another, but their system failed." He continued to tell their guests about how fights between them were handled and reminisced about their childhood. "When a fight was brought to the attention of any superior, I had no chance. It literally took video footage for my family to take my side after a fight had broken out. When we were young, we would camp every summer with my grandparents; we eventually created something called 8 o'clock news. It was just this dumb thing where at the end of the day, we would sit in front of a camera and record ourselves talking about everything that happened that day.

"We would put on a song at the end of it and do a stupid dance. The brother then takes the wedding guests through details of what she would do after their 'show'.

"She'd hit me, she'd pushed me, and she'd spit on me, and I pushed her away. Immediately she ran to my grandparents. I got into trouble, and once again, I was told, 'Sean, negative points'.... but then it dawned on me before you do this, watch the video.... my whole life, I've been trying to feel as good as I did in that moment. She had been exposed, and now I made Lindsey look like a terrible person - I'll have you know she was not."

He then moves to the sentimental part of the speech about his sister, "When I think about my sister, I think authentic; there are not many people like her, and I feel truly blessed to have such an amazing person to grow up with, her generosity and kindness is out of this world, and we all know she is someone we can count on." The brother moves on to talk about his brother-in-law and says he liked him from the beginning for one simple reason. "Adam, I liked you from the start, mainly because you laughed at my jokes and my sister would just sit there shaking her head, or because you're into sports and a good athlete yourself, but I'll have you know I've never seen my sister so confident, relaxed and happy and to our family that says a lot." He ends the speech by saying he's excited to get to know his sister's husband and welcomes him to the family.
