Beth and Tim Alberts were married Saturday and were attempting to take pictures of the happy moments after their wedding ceremony when they were interrupted by protests near Daley Plaza in downtown Chicago. Thousands of antiwar protesters filled downtown streets as the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) gathered for a summit in the area to discuss alliances, international security, and war policies.

As the Albertses were exiting the church they had just said their vows in, swarms of Occupy Chicago participants marched by and chanted, disrupting the wedding party as they tried to enjoy the moments after the ceremony and snap a few shots. In a video captured by the Chicago Sun-Times, Beth can be heard saying, "Let's get out of here." That's exactly what happened next: The wedding party gathered and left the area.

NATO is a political-military alliance that consists of 28 member countries, including the United States. President Barack Obama, as well as heads of state from around the world, is in attendance. The summit is noted as the most important diplomatic forum of the year.
