    The weddings issue


    Something bold, something new: Ditch the cookie-cutter weddings you’ve suffered through a billion times with these unique, tradition-busting ideas.
    Rich bride, poor bride: With the economy in the toilet, only the megarich have the cash for a decadent wedding. Here’s how to mimic an over-the-top, $55,000 Saturday-night nuptial with 150 guests for a cool $5,500.
    I now pronounce you civilly unionized: Same-sex couples can get hitched out of state, but will Illinois follow suit?
    I do, take two: When it comes to “Wedding Version 2.0,” encore spouses play by a different set of rules.
    Get hitched for free—by TOC!: What’s less cliché than eloping to Vegas but more festive than tying the knot at City Hall? Getting married at the TOC offices—for free.
    Doom & groom: Copious booze, forced interactions between your staid relatives and crazy friends, the “Electric Slide” and one very white, very expensive dress: What could possibly go wrong? Plenty, according to these Chicagoans’ tales of matrimonial mishaps.
    Love don’t cost a thing: Get hitched without spending one pretty penny.
    Plus:
    Weddiquette: The do’s and don’ts of wedding gift-giving.
    Wedding cards: The happy couple will get so many cards—make sure yours is memorable.
    Dance dance revolution: Wanna be a YouTube star? Choreograph an unexpected dance for your own wedding.
    But seriously, folks…: Learn more traditional wedding-day dance moves from these pros.
