Benchwarmers

Best man → Groom-friend

Wedding · Folk

Aiden, we've been best friends since we were the two kids always stuck warming the bench in gym — which, turns out, was plenty of time to become brothers. Every dumb plan, every bad idea, every 2 a.m. drive, you've had my back and I've had yours. Standing up here for you today is one of the honors of my life. She's a good one, man — and you finally figured out you're a good one too. Go be happy. Love you, brother. (Don't cry. You're gonna cry.)

Song story

Background

Ethan is 27 and has been best friends with the groom, Aiden, since they were the two kids always stuck warming the bench in gym — which turned out to be plenty of time to become brothers. Years of having each other's backs led to him standing up as best man. He made a warm, funny folk song about all those years, to give Aiden on his wedding day.
