• Tie the knot in Chicago.wedding image by Mat Hayward from Fotolia.com
  
  Say "I do" to a unique wedding in Chicago. The city has plenty of gorgeous churches where churchgoers can celebrate the ultimate union between man and woman, but if you are without a house of worship, Chicago is a great city for finding a secular venue to play host to your marriage. Whether your tastes are elegant and traditional or a little more left of center, the city of Chicago has just the place for you and your dearest.
