Coles Prince stood up in front of his wedding guests and announced that his bride, Jordan, told him that she would like to be serenaded by him once on their big day.
And because his mom “didn’t raise no fool,” he happily obliged with a completely groom-ified version of “I’m Just Ken,” famously sung by Ryan Gosling in the “Barbie” movie.
A clip showing the performance was captured and posted to TikTok by the ceremony’s photographer and videographer team, Lex & Trev Photo + Film, and it has quickly become an internet sensation.
Complete with a sparkly cowboy hat, backup singers, and some impressive wordsmithing, this groom left no stone unturned when it came to delivering an unforgettable performance.

Isn’t that the greatest thing ever? Others thought so too.
“This is glorious, glorious Kenergy,” one person praised.
“Marry him again” added another.
Prince shared with Good Morning America that he chose “I’m just Ken” as his cover song because it “conveyed what it was like to get married, specifically from the groom’s point of view.”
“Being Ken is very similar to being [a] groom. I think I can make this work. So I started by changing the lyrics ‘I’m Just Groom, number two person in the room’ and it kind of took off from there,” he told GMA.
Seems like Prince has some pretty good instincts here, because his song brought so much joy not only to his bride, or his wedding party…but to thousands of strangers as well.
And now the real question on everyone’s mind: how can we get Gosling to see this?
