We all know it - Geordies really are the best people in the country.
We're funny, caring, love a laugh and we have great dress sense.
With Christmas fast approaching, maybe you are thinking of popping the question.
So, with this in mind, here are our reasons why you should definitely marry a Geordie!
And if you have any others then don't hesitate to leave them in the comments.
1. You will always be guaranteed great food
Let’s be honest, here in Newcastle, we really do serve up the best scran in the country - and we do like our bait.
If you find a keeper get them to teach you the family recipes. It’s amazing what you can do with a stottie!
2. You’ll get the chance to try another language
And that’s ‘cos we have a language of our own.
A canny gadgie will want to find a canny lass. And at the wedding ya get maartal drunk.
3. We have a wicked sense of humour
We just see the funny side of things. We’re just plain funny and enjoy a laugh.
4. You are always guaranteed a Sunday dinner
Because it just wouldn’t be Sunday without your mum’s Sunday dinner.
5. We enjoy tea
Which is really dinner, but we have dinner for lunch.
6. You’ll always have a roof over your head
Housing is cheap round here so whatever your budget you’ll find somewhere.
7. You’ll be spoilt for choice for date nights...
With so much our city has to offer - nightlife, restaurants, cinemas and theatres - there is always somewhere to go.
8.... or date days
There’s so much to do in the daytime too.
We have the most stunning coastline and a walk along our beautiful beaches is a perfect day.
Or a day date at our gorgeous gardens (Alnwick Garden and Cragside at Rothbury) is perfect.
9. We are sport mad
You’ll learn to love football and the importance of being a black and white.
If you marry a fan then match days are taken care of.
10. We are generous
Yes, we really are.
No matter where you go in the world, there will always be a Geordie at the bar offering to buy a round.
11. We make great holiday mates
We really are a friendly bunch.
Imagine being thousands of miles away on holiday and hearing another Geordie accent.
You’ve just got to stop and chat.
12. You’ll get the chance to live in the best city - with the best surroundings - in the world - Obviously
This goes without saying.
13. Which means you will get to wake up to views like this...

16. You won’t need to worry about the in-laws because you’ll already be considered family
