9-year-old worried about losing sister after wedding gives unplanned speech - it had everyone ugly crying
Weddings are full of wholesome and emotional moments between the bride, groom and their loved ones. It's a custom in Western weddings for some of the wedding guests to stand in front of everyone and say some sweet words for the newlyweds. Little did a bride named Catie Hudson expect her younger half-brother to climb up the stage and deliver the most emotional yet unplanned speech when she tied the knot with her fiance Troy. The little speech from a 9-year-old Gus left the wedding guests with smiles and happy tears.
In the interview with CBS Evening News, Troy expressed his thoughts about his brother-in-law's speech. "It wasn't something that we were emotionally prepared to hear," Troy said during the interview. "He was just like, I am doing what I want to do and he is passionate," Catie added. Little Gus also appeared to talk about the emotional moment. "I wasn't planning on making a speech for her but I did it and let it all out. I couldn't pause it," Gus revealed. "She's just the best sister I could ask for. No one can compare," the little brother said.
Gus, who is almost two decades younger than his half-sister and has been close to her his whole life. So when she got engaged, Gus admitted that his feelings got "complicated." Gus was worried that she wouldn't be spending much time with him like she used to and the realization was stressful for him. But he embraced the magical moment of the wedding ceremony and poured his heart out in front of all the guests and the newlyweds. "I'm so happy that you guys got married today. And I know I might seem a little sad up here, but these are tears of joy. Catie, I love you so much and I'm so happy you gave me a brother-in-law," Gus said in his speech after the ceremony.
Gus's little speech even left Troy in visible tears as he wiped his eyes with a napkin. Gus also told the news outlet that his story should be a reminder for everyone to never treat their extended family any differently than their actual family. "Don't let that separate you because deep down, you love them and they love you deep down too," Gus concluded. This young man's thoughtful words surely inspired people to never miss the opportunity to tell or show how much they love those important people in their lives. The wedding footage included in the YouTube video was originally filmed by wedding videographer Ori Swiatkowski and it left the online audience sobbing as well.

What a special bond is to have and what are extra mature boy he is." @deridaluke9357 added, "He is just 9, and way mature beyond his age. This is a sweet brother and although he thought he was losing his sister, he made the husband know that he gained a brother. He had me in tears. He sure is a cutie."
