New England in general dominated the top of the list with Montpelier, Vermont taking the top spot and Newport, Rhode Island taking number 2. The only non New Englander in the top 5 is Princeton, New Jersey at number 3 followed by our port city, Portland.

Portland beat out Salem and Boston Massachusetts and even sunny San Luis Obispo, California! Portland's many harbor-side inns and quaint B&B's seem to be top reasons couples might choose to get hitched there. Maine weddings have gained popularity in the past few years appealing to those with smaller budgets or low key ceremonies. Scenic coastlines and lobster on the menu, doesn't get any better than that!

The complete list of "12 Unexpectedly Perfect Places To Get Married" is on DatingAdvice.com.
