The Secret I Kept From My Wife Until Our Wedding Day

For nearly a year, I have been keeping a big secret from my wife, @SoheeFit.

I kept sneaking off for 30 minutes at a time for video calls she didn’t know about, or pretending they were for work when they weren’t.

In bed I would often put one headphone in so she couldn’t hear what I was doing, and turning my screen away so she couldn’t see either.

I set myself a goal of learning just a teeny tiny bit of Korean as a show of respect to her and her family on our wedding day.

I wasn’t originally planning on sharing this video from a couple of months ago, because I try to make social media about posting educational content for you all.

But, it seems silly not to share one of the most important days of my life.

So, here is my full wedding speech, for any of you who are interested.

Well shit, I follow a guy for random health and fitness content and here I am tearing up over one of the best wedding speeches I’ve ever heard. Well done and congratulations

[imfirstatachaijr.johnner]

You know, in Asian cultures, a gesture like this carries immense meaning. It truly exemplifies the best way to honor and show respect for her family. Beautiful moment! 👍❤️

When her father gets up and goes and hugs him, It was the moment I knew he's made a great choice in life. Congratulations Ben.

His in-laws already approved of him, but that speech in Korean showed massive respect to the family and they were obviously very moved by it. Beautiful.

64 year old grumpy and grizzled old biker here. Mate, you brought tears to this old f****rs eyes with your eloquent, heartfelt and genuinely moving speech. Learning Korean on the ‘quiet side’ was a truly loving move. I wish you both well and may your giggles never stop.

You won't regret it mate. Met my Korean bride on a city bus in Gunsan...still married 42 years later. Great speech, and good on you for learning Hangul. Congrats and good luck.

Don’t know why this showed up in my feed but now I’m sitting here crying over a wedding speech for two people I’ve never met. I want to show this to every single woman I know (including my two youngest daughters) and tell them to find a man who will love you like this.
Beautiful speech and beautiful couple. Congratulations! Wishing you many many decades of happiness together.

What a man. And what a gorgeous bride. Easily the best wedding speech I've ever heard. Thanks for making a grown man cry!

[hamo_aisa]

What a speech! One of the best speeches by a groom I have ever heard and the respect you showed her family and culture to learn your speech in Korean. Your a legend mate!!

[sdprescott]

Beyond doubt, the most humble, heartfelt, and loving tribute by a husband ever ! When a guy loves and cares with that kindness and sacrifice, he is guaranteed a happy wife and home of love. Well done !

[melancholiac]

My goodness. What an eloquent, charming man he is. I wish them both all the very best.

This video appeared randomly and for no particular reason, I clicked on it. I have never heard such a wonderful tribute to anyone EVER before. I can only imagine what it would feel like to be loved that strongly. I will never know. Congratulations to both of you for having what it takes to create your love story. May you have many, many happy years together. ❤

[Gonzonurse]

The best wedding speech and proclamation of love, I have ever heard. I think everyone wants to feel that type of love. ❤️

[juliekendrick-finn]

The best wedding speech I have ever heard. Hell that's probably the best wedding speech I'm ever going to here in my whole life, ever.

I am moved to tears by his beautiful speech. What a wonderful man. This woman is lucky to have him. This is the best he could do to show respect to her and her family

[juniorrdrz]

You honored her so well. When her father got up after you spoke Korean was priceless, you showed him when it comes to her there is no boundaries. May your childrens children have many grandchildren
