The chamber of commerce of Wilmington, Ill., is looking for an engaged couple so an Elvis impersonator can marry them during a Route 66 festival in 2011.
The chamber wants to perform the wedding in downtown Wilmington on May 7 during the Illinois Route 66 Red Carpet Corridor celebration. The event runs along Route 66 among several Route 66 towns in northern Illinois, including Wilmington.
The chamber will supply the gazebo in a landscaped town square, with the nuptials presided over by an Elvis Presley impersonator who also happens to be an ordained minister. Route 66 will be part of the backdrop, too.

Afterward, newly married couple and their guests can enjoy Wilmington’s all-Elvis all-day live entertainment, or make their own reception plans.
If you’re interested, call chamber President Eric Fisher or Pam Monson at 815-476-7966 for additional information.
