Killer speeches AND you officiate?! I think you should start up a wedding company in addition to tech! 😜 I’m sure people would pay for your hilarity! 😂

[@ianchen1959]

Thanks Taryn! Thinking about it...

[@cielapid1412]

Always nice to watch your videos. I can feel how much you love your friends. And for some reason I feel like I am friends with them for a long time because of your stories. May God continue to bless you so that you can continue to be a blessing to those around you.. .. and keep us smiling.

Why am I binge watching this guy's videos at 4 am 🤔

Can’t believe I’m going to subscribe to a channel full of best man speeches 🤔 For some reason.. these are bringing so much joy to my single life 😂 Thanks from Hong Kong and keep them coming!

Thank you Jojo! Appreciate the love all the way from HK!

@@ianchen1959 Haha but Ian Chen said Ian always has a way in everything. ✌Seriously, can't wait to watch and hear your wedding vows, man. You'll have a long list of best man speeches from all your friends you've been best man with. 🍀

From two Best Man Speech to being an officiant...Nice

[@ianchen1959]

There will probably be at least 2-3 more.. but I am going to try to release some non wedding content soon!

[@achiedz]

Hey Ian, ever think to make some podcast? Your voice somehow very comforting to hear 😂 Content tho, can be very tricky but loved to hear your experience as a start up owner

The main question is who is going to be his best men if he gets married 👀🤣

Think I may need to let more than 1 person do a joint session ;)

You’ve got some really good way to catch the attention of viewers! Keep it going. But you’ve got such amazing friends to have a speech of this sort.

Ian - are you married yet? You are just the sweetest 🥰

This is great! Thanks for sharing - did rehearse the funny stories from bridesmaids (did the bride/groom know), or was that a surprise?

[@briannadunlap8200]

As an officiant...did you divulge the entire spee h during the rehearsal? I am working on one for my brother and your video popped up!

Nope! Didn't do the speech during rehearsal =)

[@briannadunlap8200]

Gotcha! Thanks

[@inekehh95]

I think that paper are better than a mobile, but its Very well done

[@jeffianchen]

Yea I totally agree. I regret that in hindsight. I was actually thinking of doing it by memory but chickened out last minute. Unlike a best man speech, officiant speeches I feel like must be much more on point.

[@Seremonii]

🤦🏿‍♀️Way too long and the officiant made it more about himself than the couple. Those are two "No No's".

[@ferrisntp]

Would u try a fun speech in other categories, now that you have had a few wedding ones? It would be just as good 😉

[@Tracey-lo5wz]

I can't hear the sound 😢

[@user-vc5rp7nf8f]

he didn't memorize it like his other best man speech!

Noted that too. I think it would have been better if he had memorized it. :(

@@ianchen1959 hope you get married soon too and have an even happier life. God bless you.

[@aprilrandolph1]

Kind of impersonal to have KZbin wedding with unknown of the context in almost every way not even blessing as word from within a church in the speech. Global privacy concerns could be bad actors taking this the wrong way so praying for safety and security after listening to this although it was impossible for me not to smile a she was such a happy messenger of such a random thing.

[@georgeluna7232]

Way too wordy.

so is Ian single? asking for myself.
