Marryoke

Wedding guests lip-sync to a song which is later set to music in the wedding video, forming a word combining marriage and karaoke: marryoke. This is part of a complete episode.

Transcript of “Marryoke”

Here’s a word that’s new to me, but I bet it’s going to have more currency.

Do you know the word karaoke?
