My question involves marriage law for the State of: Illinois (Cook County/Chicago)
Two of my friends want to get a polyandrous marriage license on Monday (6/27/2015) (MMF).
With the ruling today on Obergefell v. Hodges (same sex marriage), it appears Justice Roberts notes the same premises for same sex marriages also would appear to plural marriages:

Illinois only appears to have a law for bigamy that requires someone already be married; none of us are married nor performing marriage "sequentially" but rather "at the same time". Therefore, nobody would meet bigamy. More wiki on "Bigamy":

For federal law, all i'm really seeing is the Morril Anti-Bigamy Act:

I don't see what law we'd be violating (state or federal) by trying to obtain, and process the marriage license; all laws are on "Bigamy" and not polygamy, polygyny, or polyandry.
If we really want to test the waters of how today's ruling could impact plural marriage, what should we do or say at the county clerk? We have the marriage party, a photographer, and a minister ready.
Is anyone interested in helping us pull this off or help write the 3 person prenup? What would we get rejected on or possibly charged with?
