From Chicago-The location of the civil wedding ceremony for Stacy Alan and John Poole was the groom's choice, one that called for it to be wrapped up in mere minutes.
His appreciation for art and the couple's desire for a simple exchange of vows are what led them, hand in hand, to Gallery 240 inside the Art Institute of Chicago over the weekend.
It was there, in front of French artist Georges Seurat's famous pointillist painting "A Sunday on La Grande Jatte," and two security guards who either looked the other way or didn't notice, that the Chicago couple wed.
There were no gallery reservations or requests for permission sought from museum officials. The Saturday morning ceremony was what their friends described as a three-minute-long "guerrilla wedding" inside of a space the 43-year-old Hyde Park playwright finds sacred.
