NEW YORK, July 12 (UPI) -- The sale of a posh Manhattan penthouse has brought a lawsuit from a Brooklyn couple who had planned to get married there this fall.

Michelle Barry and Jesse Nesmith were among eight couples who had their plans to get married in the Greenwich Village residence, known as Sky Studios, scuttled by the sale of the place to billionaire Ron Burkle.

The New York Post said Thursday Barry filed a lawsuit against the company that owned the penthouse seeking not only $400,000 in damages but also the right to proceed with the Sept. 15 ceremony in the space as originally planned.

"We were hoping to have this all planned by now," Barry said. "I'm just feeling stressed, like maybe we should elope."
