Groom’s Brother Confesses Hilarious Secret During Wedding Speech: ‘I Bring This Up 20 Years Later as a Gift’
"Wait wait wait, are you serious?" the groom reacted in the TikTok video
A groomsman is revealing a secret he's kept from his family for over 20 years.
In a viral TikTok video posted by @talijoyphotographer, the groom's younger brother is seen admitting in his speech during the wedding reception how he let his older brother, Mark, take the blame for something he did when the two were kids.
"When I was around 8, Dave (their friend) and Mark were over at the house and they were playing paintball one day. And I love playing paintball myself. So when Mark came over and wanted to play I asked if I could join and they shot me down," he said.
"But like any little brother, I ran upstairs and got my stuff anyway and I was going to follow them whether they liked it or not," he continued. "When I got my stuff and came downstairs, they were gone."
Angry at the time, the younger brother shared in the speech how he proceeded to pick up a couple of Mark's paintballs and throw them at the house next door. After his parents and neighbors found out, he blamed the incident on Mark.
Mark assured them that it couldn't have been him who threw the paintballs because their paintball colors didn't match. But they didn't believe him. So he ended up having to clean up the mess while his younger brother sat back and watched TV.
"Wait wait wait, are you serious?" Mark reacted upon hearing his brother's confession. The camera then pans at Dave, who too, is in shock.
"I got in so much trouble for that," Mark added.
In the end, Mark's brother said he knew he had to reveal the secret eventually. He thought what better way to do it than at the wedding.
"So I bring this up now as a wedding gift to him for closure that I am the one that threw those paintballs," the brother offered. "So thank you for letting me watch TV that night."
