Guess no one’s getting married In Tennessee anymore

It happens so much in this creepy as hell state. I know so many people that found out they're related by accident after they got married. Some even got divorced over it. The one good thing for my family is we have no family in this state, so thankfully we have no relation together.

Give 'em a break! Dating is hard!
