It doesn’t get much better than living in the Show-Me State. Actually, if you marry someone from Missouri, it does. Here are some of the reasons why marrying a local is the best decision you can make.
1. We appreciate the outdoors.
With over 50 state parks, Missouri never runs dry on beautiful places to explore the great outdoors. Locals know this and they always take advantage of the natural resources available. Camping trip, anyone?
2. We're loyal.
Most Missourians have their roots sewn deeply into the state. So, when it comes to our sport teams we're not ones to hop on another fan bandwagon when times get tough for our local teams.
3. We know how to party.
Two words: Mardi Gras.
4. Or relax on the river.
We have just as good of a time floating down a river with drinks on ice and some snacks.
5. You'll want to grow old with us.
According to a study done by WalletHub, Missouri is ranked 14th in the country for the best place to retire. I'd say this adds a bit more longevity to the times that you'll be able to enjoy with your future Missouri spouse.
6. We'll weather a storm to get to you.
Rain or shine, snow or sleet, Missourians are made of true grit and won't let poor weather prevent us from doing anything we please.
7. We enjoy the simple things in life.
One of the most charming qualities you'll find in Missourians is their ability to find beauty in the everyday things in life. Whether that be an open country road, a beautiful sunset or the smell of fresh air, that's reason enough to put a smile on our face.
8. You'll have the most beautiful wedding.
Missouri is bursting at the seams with scenic wineries, gorgeous barns and magnificent churches. Whichever venue you decide on for the, "I do's", you'll have the most perfect wedding day. Just check out this gorgeous scene snapped at the lovely Chaumette Vineyards & Winery.
9. We're not afraid to get a little messy.
When it comes to our amazing BBQ, we're okay with messy ribs. Just slap on a bib and bring the tray over, we'll eat with our hands. And have zero shame.
10. We can be a pretty cheap date.
No need to try and wine and dine us at a Michelin Star restaurant. We'll enjoy quality time at a state fair just as much.
