I love this idea...This seems just about right for the last week of summer: Wanna get married at the Metropolitan Museum of Art? Fuhgeddaboutit. Not allowed. (You may, however, buy wedding presents at the Met. And corporate events are welcome. The scultpture court holds 250 guests for dinner and dancing. Just not for a wedding, dinner and dancing.) But if you're smarter than the system, there's always a way. Painter (and Jeff Koons assistant) Sarah Chuldenko and her beau Stephen wanted to get married at the Met. So they did: They held a 'guerilla wedding.' ("The plan: "Get married...Before they get kicked out.") The couple walked into the Met, paid admission, and proceeded to an apparently agreed upon place. Their guests did the same.
Check out the happy couple!
Quote:
If there lurks in most modern minds the notion that to desire our own good and earnestly to hope for the enjoyment of it is a bad thing, I submit that this notion has crept in from Kant and the Stoics and is no part of the Christian faith. Indeed, if we consider the unblushing promises of reward and the staggering nature of the rewards promised in the Gospels, it would seem that Our Lord finds our desire, not too strong, but too weak. We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea. We are far too easily pleased. -CS Lewis from The Weight of Glory
I listened to this today and feel the groaning just a bit more keenly at this moment.
