If you’re new to the Cowboy State, you’ve probably picked up on the fact that life out here is very different than elsewhere in the country. Our no-frills, nature-loving lifestyle creates a certain kind of person, and you might even find that your soulmate is here in Wyoming. Here are a few reasons to marry a Wyomingite and plan your dream wedding in the mountains.

  1. We’re not materialistic, or high maintenance.

  1. We know the meaning of hard work.

K. Magaraci Most of us have been working since we were kids. Whether it’s on a ranch, in the tourism industry, or out on the prairie, we’re not afraid to get our hands dirty and commit to doing a great job. That attitude translates to maintaining relationships, too, so you won’t catch us slacking.

  1. We’re animal people.

  1. We’ll teach you everything about your new home state.

K. Magaraci We know Wyoming history better than anyone, because it’s absolutely fascinating. We’re quick to point out historic landmarks and tell you tales of what happened on this land.

  1. We’ll take you on the most incredible adventures.

K. Magaraci Nobody knows the Cowboy State like a local. There are so many out-of-this-world sights to see, and we’ll proudly show them off.

  1. We won’t let the bears eat you on these adventures, either.

Mountain lions, on the other hand… sorry, you’re on your own.

  1. We know how to cook.

  1. You’ll never catch a Wyomingite complaining about the weather.

  1. You’ll have the most beautiful wedding, ever!

So, what are you waiting for? Get out there and meet your soulmate here in the Cowboy State.
