Brothers by blood, friends by choice: That's the message behind Daniel Buccheri's rousing wedding tribute to his brother, Adrian, and we're still trying to wipe away all the tears!
Instead of giving a traditional best man's speech, the Melbourne-based musician decided to express how much his big bro and new sister-in-law Sarah mean to him by breaking out into song. He took six popular tunes — including "Stay With Me" by Sam Smith and "Can You Feel the Love Tonight" by Elton John — and rewrote the lyrics to be about the bride and groom's relationship.
In an interview with Mashable, Buccheri explains that he wanted to do something creative for his speech, rather than the usual "snooze fest." It came as a total surprise to the newlyweds — he snuck his keyboard into the venue. How did they react? "They were pretty shocked and emotional, and really appreciative of all the work I put in. They loved it."
