Cook County's Royal Couple — Will it Be You?

A local angle on the royal nuptials — the first Cook County couple to receive a marriage license on Friday will receive the royal treatment from the clerk's office.

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 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.
