You've heard of Groupon deals for yoga classes and go-karting—now, you can use the Chicago-based site to score savings on your honeymoon. On Monday, Groupon opened an online Wedding Shop that sells rings, gowns, and tuxedos for steeply discounted prices.

According to CNBC, brides-to-be can score Nicole Miller dresses for $500, and 1-carat gold diamond rings are available for $1,000. Also on offer: discounted honeymoon trips to the Bahamas and Tuscany. The store, which is still in its testing phase, is open through April 16. But, Groupon staffers may be ready to commit to the concept: there's a possibility that they'll reopen the store for the summer wedding rush.
