Catholic churches in western burbs w/o being parishoner

I'm sure this topic has been discussed here before... but does anyone know of any Catholic churches in the western suburbs (anywhere from Oakbrook to Naperville-ish) that will marry us even if we aren't parishoners? His parents are set on us getting married in the church. The only one I found was Sacred Heart in Lombard, but they have an extremely strict dress code, and I just don't want to deal with having to a) nixing probably 95% of dresses or b) spending extra, unnecessary money on a cover-up.

    We had a really really hard time with this.  We eventually were able to get in at St. Pats in Joliet.  I picked the church because I was baptized there.  However we originally wanted St. Cyril in Lemont which is just beautiful.  The reason I didn't want to go with them is because I had my date set already and the only time they could get us in on that date was way too early.  The were however able to schedule without being a parishoner.  Good luck!  We called about 20 churches in our search.

    If you look on maybe the second page, there was a thread about this same subject (I think it's titled Catholic Churches in Wheaton).  You might get some good suggestions there!  GL!

    Thanks everyone - we actually found Our Lady of Mount Carmel in Darien. They were so nice and accommodating on the phone so we are going to go with them!! The Pastor even made a joke when I called about "getting married in the Church," he asked if I was wanting a list of prospects. A Pastor who can make me laugh - a definite plus!!
