I am an ordained Minister, and have in fact done a civil union in Chicago.I live in Chicagoland area, and it is really just a matter of you and your partner going to the County you will married in,and applying for a license.You then have 60 days to have  ceremony performed.Hope this helps..   Ordained Minister, T. Ryan

There are lots of gay friendly venues here in Chicago, and many officiants. I think you might want to think through what you'd like in a ceremony and start looking around!

My partner and I are planning an August 31st wedding and have had nothing but good experiences as we plan.

We're having our wedding in the Chicago-land area, but actually going to Canada to get the legal marriage-- a marriage in Canada will be recognized the most places as far as we can tell.
