Royal Wedding to be Held in Chicago?

Cook County to have their own "royal family."

Forget Prince William and Kate Middleton, Chicago is having its own royal wedding.

Cook County Clerk David Orr said he will dub the first couple to obtain a marriage license tomorrow morning as Cook County’s royal couple.

To sweeten the deal, the couple will cut a three-tiered wedding cake donated by Eli’s Cheesecake. If any of this sounds familiar, both Eli’s Cheesecake and the clerk’s office held a similar “ceremony” in 1981 on the day Prince Charles married Lady Diana Spencer.
