Researchers have trawled through marriage certificates to compile a list of the U.S. states most likely to see a couple head down the aisle.The statistics were collated by the National Center for Health Statistics, which is part of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention , and the most up-to-date figures are from 2021.Nevada is where wedding bells are heard the most, according to the map, while Louisiana has the fewest marriages per 1,000 people.
' That definition appears to suggest the figures have not been skewed by out-of-towners heading to Las Vegas to get hitched. However, another CDC report clarifies that 'rates reflect the location where the marriage occurred and do not necessarily indicate the place of residence.'Other states with high marriage rates are Montana ; Utah ; Wyoming, Idaho and Vermont ; Arkansas ; and Alabama and Tennessee .Texas and Oregon had slightly fewer marriages per 1,000 people.
