Plot
Emily and John are a newlywed couple forced to hire Sandy, an obnoxious wedding singer, as their entertainment for their wedding reception after the original booked band canceled. Sandy soon gets drunk, annoying the wedding attendants. Sandy performs a crude song about the couple, saying that John was tricked into marrying Emily after getting her pregnant, calls Emily a slut and says that she has herpes, and finally says the people are screwed. In a fit of anger, John attempts to fight Sandy but is intervened by the best man who holds him back. John pushes the best man into the microphone stand on Sandy's keyboard, forcing the microphone to lodge deep into Sandy's trachea. The attendants are too freaked out by the event to help Sandy, leaving him to die from asphyxiation, silencing the obnoxious wedding singer forever.
