Wedding season is still going strong here in the Treasure State. It seems every day there are new photos popping up of people saying their nuptials or dancing awkwardly with Grandma. But, is Montana a good state to get married in?

Of course, we have the beautiful scenery for outdoor weddings.  Yes, we have very unpredictable weather patterns. They say rain on your wedding day is good luck. But, I never heard what they say if it randomly snows on your wedding.

The folks at Zippia are at it again, as they have dug up the data on what states are the worst for marriage.

According to the Zippia study, here is how they came up with the results

They ranked each state on 3 factors:

  • Average wedding cost
  • Divorce rate
  • Yearly rainfall in inches

First, we looked at the average wedding cost according to ValuePenguin. After that, we examined each state’s divorce rate. Finally, we took into account annual rainfall in inches. Rain may be rumored to be good luck on the wedding day- but when the aisle has turned to mud, you certainly won’t feel lucky.
