“Folks from Minneapolis and Chicago know each other well: we visit each other often to take in theater, restaurants, museums, shopping, sports, you name it. Now Chicagoans have another great reason to come to Minneapolis: to get married,” Mayor Rybak said in a news release. “Gay and lesbian couples from Chicago don’t have to wait one more day to get married in Minneapolis. We’re a supportive and welcoming city where folks are ready to help them put together the wedding of their dreams.”
