man and wife because i wanted him to get things speeded up. and his tactic works because shortly after the laughter dies down, andrew and melissa are presented to the world as husband and wife. andrew s slip-up is so funny they tell their wedding videographer to post it on the web. we were thinking, you know, it will be for our friends, and people will watch it. and then it started picking up speed really unexpectedly. it gets so many hits that melissa s and andrew s parents contact them on their honeymoon. we got calls from our parents on our honeymoon. you ve got to get to a library and watch your wedding video, which was silly because we were on our honeymoon. and when they finally returned home, the hits continue to climb. it s like 80,000. it s crazy, you know. so it s clearly not just our friends watching it, which is what we expected. the popularity of the video is catching, and eventually it reaches more than 1 million hits. the fact that she cannot stop laug
Herself together makes it viral magic. andrew blames his slight of tongue on a term called spoonerism. my dad does it on purpose. so it s actually his fault. he trained me to do this. he switches the first two letters of the word, so like sleeping bag would be beeping slag. a cup of water would be a wup of cotter. but despite his spooners, andrew hopes his wedding day gaffe will be a sign of how he and melissa will handle whatever hardship comes their way, with love and with a lot of laughter. coming up one of the hottest acts on the web hey, it s fred. features one of the craziest characters you ve ever seen. plus, a little boy s trip to the dentist do i have stitches? yes. on my teeth? yeah. don t touch it. leaves viewers in stitches. don t. and a baby s bite goes viral. ow. ouch, charlie. when caught on camera: viral video - millions served returns. i love the jetta. but what about a deal?
Again. after graduating, andrew received some devastating news. my dad came down with lung cancer, like horrific tumors the size of grapefruits. deeply religious, andrew copes with his father s cancer with prayer, and the first person he reaches out to is melissa. it just felt as natural as could be to go to melissa about it. even though we didn t know each other really well, i knew her in a way that i trusted her a lot. he e-mailed me and said will you pray because i don t want my dad to die. and it was to the point where they weren t going to treat him. so we all started praying. call it divine intervention or simply good luck, but after one month of prayer from andrew, melissa, family, and friends, andrew s father defies the odds. his tumors completely disappear. he started getting better. his pain started going away. and when andrew returns to seattle pacific to interview for a master s program, he has more on his mind than impressing the faculty. he wants to see me
