John toasts Hank and Katherine

Rehearsal dinner toast and repayment...

[@coletakkish4389]

This speech represents all the pros and cons of having a super smart, witty, novelist brother

[@Butterinyourear]

Hank both has that brother and is that brother. Those are some good genes!

[@Neonb88]

Wait the parents definitely deserve credit too, as do all of us for supporting their work KZbin can be such a beautiful thing

[@motheraiya]

"may they always have money to count, and each other to count on" OMG JOHN 🥺🥺🥺

[@SylviaRustyFae]

[@niemannicole]

I so wish we could see Hank and Katherine's reactions

[@etienneporras7252]

You can just BARELY hear Hank say "Oh my God" between he himself laughing when John reveals the money.

[@michaelvalentin9136]

Was this a toast or a roast because damn

[@douglasrau5094]

+Michael Valentin That's what a good best man speech should be: take a few digs at the groom's expense but always end sweet and sincere.

[@GoneZombie]

+Michael Valentin You can't spell toast without (most of) roast!

[@hxrini.6174]

It's a toast because Hank was toast at the end of it!

[@albertjackinson]

@@hxrini.6174 Good one!

[@jadedeyesamuri]

Best wedding speech I've ever heard.

[@kaleidoslug7777]

This was so passive-aggressively adorable!

[@Kase_K]

After listening to this heartfelt and heartwarming speech indirectly about brotherhood and love, I looked to the featured video and saw what? Why, the video entitled "My Brother Tried to Kill Me with a Hammer," of course.

[@milesmamigonian4831]

Same here.

[@favretheundeadvods7798]

same

[@SenshiSunPower]

Me too.

[@vihangdixit87]

Same.

[@lamishasalim5124]

Me too

[@hallieeramos]

It's even more hilarious knowing Hank's hatred of one dollar bills XD

[@soapbing]

he could have always done it in pennies

[@hallieeramos]

Nah, that's what one does to John. (Actually, I'd love to see someone give John a bunch of money in only pennies :'D)

[@SwiftnLevineforlife]

John is a freaking genius and sweetheart. Gosh, he's just so good with WORDS IDEK

@@vinaylalwani thanks, DFTBA to you too! also i love how you write it with a smile :DFTBA

[@estherrawr]

so basically i need my sister to become a very eloquent, New York Times bestselling author before I get married. Which should worry me, but my sister becoming a writer or a nobel prize winner or a walrus is more likely than me finding a guy to marry.

[@estherrawr]

haha thank you! i just have a very bad, unsuccessful dating "career" :D definitely, thanks again, DFTBA!

[@douglasrau5094]

+estherrawr Better to strike a lot then make a career out of sitting on the bench.

[@estherrawr]

quick update: my sister has chosen to become a criminal detective.

[@GoneZombie]

That can help in it's own way!

[@MuddyRacco0n]

@@estherrawr well, she's still gonna write a lot and have some intense stories to tell. But what about you? Met someone worthwhile yet?

[@Makreads]

"May you always have money to count and each other to count on", this is why John is bloomin' good

[@zachvii6476]

This is straight up one of the best wedding toasts I’ve ever heard. He killed it.

[@Zalied]

its funny how you see people saying who the eff is hank and people answer his brother....its like the people asking the question know hank better than those answering

[@SilverFlame819]

It just makes me laugh, because everyone who answers with a real answer you just want to point at and giggle and yell NEWB! :D

[@SilverFlame819]

You're obviously young. Before there was such thing as "n00b", there were only newbies. You know, back before dinosaurs walked the earth, when the internet was fresh and new. So now I'm going to equate you with all those people answering the "Who's Hank?" question with "his brother"... *sigh* Oh, to be young and new in this world! :P

[@adkgirlsince01]

Hank was a brony before it was cool xD

[@kdfljgfldghldfgshdfl]

I wasn't aware that being a brony was considered cool now.

[@ivpartridge]

Pyromanic519 where have you BEEN ? ( clearly not tumble)

[@kdfljgfldghldfgshdfl]

Isabelle Partridge I don't have anything against bronies, I just didn't know they were cool.

[@MCAndyT]

+

[@coletakkish4389]

One could argue that all current bronies were bronies before it was cool.

[@rebeccamarievverjohansen8510]

This is literally the sweetest and smartest speech I've ever encountered. Cheers to vlogbrothers, cheers to life! and to Hank & Katherine - still going strong! :)

[@6impossiblethings]

I came across this video in my very early days of having found nerdfigheria. It makes so more sense now and it's hilarious how John made that speech before vlogbrothers even began - the most lucrative thing Hank has ever stumbled upon. DFTBA.

[@hopieg07]

I think that was one of the best wedding speeches I have ever heard. Hank, and John, you are so very lucky to have each other. I have never seen a more awesome pair of brothers.

[@glenn2687]

i was like stopping myself from watching this as long as i can because i thought i might get emotional but knowing john i didn't really know where those expectations came from

[@Chris_winthers]

I don't know why youtube brought me here, but i'm glad it did

[@Chaines94]

That last line though omg too beautiful

[@jimbers1802]

I think you mean John ROASTS Hank.

[@davidgreen139]

I've seen this speech so many times over the years and it never stops being the best thing

[@vinayakohri1293]

Another green! I spotted another green! Tuatara lookmat this! 😳

[@ChipmunkNewsNetwork]

You can tell John Green writes well by the quality of his speeches. I would have thought myself an idiot if I didn't think he had at least written SOMETHING and gotten it published (without knowing who he is of course)

[@pennylane5210]

Hits differently lately ❤

[@DGatsch]

Hank is a small village of shoemakers situated in the Northwest region of Madagascar.

[@browncesario]

came back here while trying to write a wedding speech and i'm instantly discouraged - this is still some of the best writing i've ever heard

[@katiejewel8319]

This will go down in history as the best toast ever...

[@afl9166]

I can't stop watching this. I just keep watching it over and over and over :D

[@Hippopotalust]

Hanks tenacity and penchant for starting new businesses (seeking new ways to make money?) will indeed be putting Henry and Alice through college. How accurate you were, John!

[@JohnSmith-op4ho]

For all we know, the reception of this very wedding was were the Brotherhood 2.0 idea was born...

[@Ruminations09]

I'm pretty sure that Brotherhood 2.0 was already going on when this happened.

[@adammartinelli8274]

It's weird, he references the vlog in the speech, but I thought Hank was already married to The Katherine when Brotherhood 2.0 began.

[@shaulpagis-sharon4484]

i think he references EcoGeek, a blog Hank used to have before Brotherhood 2.0

[@shanachayadavison5857]

Yeah B2.0 didn't start for a while after this.

[@insomnicolors]

Why have I never watched this before? Brilliant.

[@catgal222]

i wish i had found this so much sooner

[@chelsey8737]

For all his general anxiety and social anxiety, he might be the best speaker I've seen

[@CookieCreamCrumble]

You misspelled roast.

[@crochetingcanuck]

I just wish I could have seen Hank and Katherine's faces as they listened to the speech lol

[@vincy19961]

that was some awesome and hilarious speech...xD

[@teimon91]

i love it when the suggestion bar finds gold

[@AssortedAmazingness]

I don't know what's better, the toast, or the fact that, looking at the date, Hank might have used some of this money to buy his first video camera, for use on Vlogbrothers. Or, better, John might have used some of it, too. :) Also, am I the only one thinking that this might be the primary reason why John hates pennies?

[@minergmaingx2000]

Hank Green is the name John has given to his diary

[@albertjackinson]

HA HA! ++++++++++++++++++++++++++ DFTBA!

[@laurenkoranda8708]

BEST VIDEO ON KZbin. PERIOD.

[@laurnimolarp9780]

This is absolutely brilliant. My younger brother loves My Little Pony and Monster High almost as much as he loved his money. He reminds me a lot of Hank, now that I think about it; tall and blonde. I might watch this speech again when he gets married.

[@Shallowandpedantic42]

That was the best wedding speech I have ever heard.

[@whitneymoede7254]

I love it when they talk about this stuff on their podcast !!

[@coletakkish4389]

Title should be toasting AND roasting

[@elianenieder3382]

I actually cheered and clapped out loud at the end

[@lewismassie]

I think this is the best thing I've ever seen. Nothing quite like the most passive-agressive roast from your sibling at your wedding

[@PureNightfall]

I love that you can hear Catherine's laugh, it's so distinctive :3

[@sierraayanna4334]

Hank’s tiktok brought me here😂😂.

[@WeAreAllMadHere96]

'May they always have money to count, and each other to count on.' Awwww.

[@albertjackinson]

I want a wedding speech similar to the special nature and magnitude this had. I think I'll be lucky if I have a speech at my hypothetical future wedding that gets *only a bit* close to the brilliance of this. DFTBA, John, Hank, and Katherine!

[@literatouristin]

This last sentence is so much John Green its adorable 😍

[@IImoonifyII]

Katherine's laugh is so recognizable it's awesome xD

[@wynflete]

What a brilliant speech John. Thank you Dad 1.0 SO much for sharing. And what amazing timing. In a week Stuart will be delivering a best man speech at a wedding (pressure on him!), though probably the only thing we owe the groom is a lawn mower and that would not look as cool in a my little pony bag. Oh, my tummy hurts from laughing!

[@themillennialdiaries]

Because of “Delete This”, I can now pick out Katherine’s laugh from the crowd, in addition to Hank’s!

[@freeflowsilver117]

Best toast ever

[@dunzy1996]

Only John Green could make a speech that's heartfelt, funny and amazing. I don't know anyone else on the planet that could have done that better.

[@aquartertwo]

The best thing I've watched this week, and that includes this weeks videos of Hank and John.

[@mysterydonut]

My goal in life is to make my parents as proud as John & Hank must make their parents.

[@xdiehard1x]

This is the best thing ever :-)

[@JessieCarty]

Thanks KZbin algorithm for suggesting this to me in 2021 LOL

[@cloverhighfive]

I love that I can pick up Katherine's and Hank's from all the laughs ;)

[@TheBoomersauce]

"May they always gave money to count and eachother to count on"...john you novelist...:,)

[@kizzenger]

I just saw this one TikTok lmaoo

[@CherryNocti]

literally the best/#1 non-cringe wedding speech I have ever heard XD

[@tomlangford1999]

This video makes me so happy when I'm feeling down ❤️

[@joysarenottravesties]

Awwww...people in the comments who don't get the "Who the eff is Hank?" joke. You guys are adorable.

[@TheCheck999]

Wow John said the word pennies with no reference to how much he hates them.

[@giveitsomepizazz]

John Green should give every wedding speech ever.

[@ronjamb]

Awww this gives me shivers, it's so sweet

[@m3lodyblu3z]

Came here from the tiktok 🤣

[@SilverIlly]

Well, all things considered, whoever uploaded this must be pretty close to John and Hank to have video of Hank's wedding reception. Also, this user's channel description is "dad 1.0" so . . . Papa Green?

[@sebastianmuller2278]

It is Papa Green

[@HazelGiz]

I thought this was going to be really sweet, you know what with John having that beautiful, poetic way with words, but clearly not

[@KTHiNKSoFu]

Awe, that was such a sweet and thoughtful gift! The speech was hilarious. Hank is lucky to have you as a brother =)

[@MadeOfCATS]

This is the most hilariously endearing thing i've ever seen

[@liliesandtulips91210]

they're so cuttteeee

[@CRANTIME]

well, that's cute af

[@thelastgoodkiss21]

Absolutely fantastically adorable.

[@mandarific]

What an awesome, awesome speech. Dad 1.0! Thanks for sharing this with all of us! I can only hope someone filled with equally as much awesome gives an equally as awesome speech at my wedding. How cute.

[@CourtneyDole]

This was hilarious, and that last bit was so cute! "And each other to count on." I mean, awwwww (:

[@samanthak2205]

this is the nicest speech EVER! I wish I could've seen hanks reaction to it.

[@iKerewin]

That was so wonderful. 6 mins and 3 seconds of laughter and then that last three seconds made me burst into tears

[@nfarley01]

I had to add this to my favourites, and my likes, and my bookmarks in case I ever forget that there are little acts of kindness - like this one - hidden all over the world.

[@YellowTissueBox]

john green. the man. the legend.

[@samvidas9599]

HANK IS A BRONY CONFIRMED Also this is the best wedding toast ever.

effin brilliant.

[@DarkGreenNails]

I want to see Hank's reaction-face!

[@annemg]

The My Little Pony Lunchbox!! Katharine said it was a wedding gift when I asked about it in the background, but it was even more awesome than I thought! I think I woke my kids up laughing. :)

[@funduedsadventuers9174]

i want some one to make a speach like that at my wedding hank you have a good brother

[@lambentlamprey]

"Why have you got so many ones?" "Pranking my lil bro." "undertandable, have a nice day."

[@Shelly63m]

Is anyone else here from Hank’s recent tiktok lmao

[@LAshlieH]

This is probably the best speech i've ever heard. : )

[@bakerybabe29]
