Getting hitched? Employees can get married in a chapel on the grounds of an Erickson retirement village for free or a nominal fee. A popular choice: Our Lady of the Angels Chapel, in Erickson's Charlestown community. For $750, lovebirds can say their vows in a spectacular marble basilica-in-miniature with a 68-foot dome.
