So Matt Coats, one of the guys that hosts the infamous weekly "Karaoke Killed the Cat" party at Pianos, and his girlfriend Kate decided to get married! Rather than have a regular wedding, they decided that Matt's karaoke co-host Chris "Goldteeth" Ehrman would get ordained and marry them...on stage...at Pianos...at 2am....with karaoke. So Marriage + Karaoke = MARRYOKE! Got all that? Ok, here we go!
Pianos is pretty crowded on a Friday night, but right around 2am, they cleared out the big room where bands usually play (Wedding Guests Only)! Here's the father of the bride walking Kate down the aisle...

Here's Chris showing off the "A Wedding Ceremony to Remember " book he purchased off the interweb that he'd be using to conduct the ceremony! Hahah.

If Matt & Kate ever have kids, I can't wait until the day when they're old enough to use the internets and they end up finding this photo and they're like "Wait, THAT'S the guy that married you two?" Hahahah.

Before Chris began the actual ceremony, he announced that...

Then, afterwards, it was pretty much just like regular karaoke!

Except that there weren't any sad "you broke my heart" type songs because all of the guests pretty much wanted to sing romantic love ballads to celebrate the marriage!

Oh, and there was also body surfing.
