Local Motel Introduces 'Hawk Tuah Honeymoon Suite'
BELFAST, TN - With out-of-towners flocking to Belfast for romance, local businesses are adjusting-starting with the town's #1 motel.
Introducing the Hawk Tuah Honeymoon Suite at The Moonlight Motor Inn, designed exclusively for couples who met through the power of spit.
For just $69 a night, couples can enjoy:?? A custom spittoon on each nightstand?? A framed portrait of Hailey Welch above the bed (because why not)?? A mini-fridge stocked with Pabst Blue Ribbon and beef jerky?? A towel set that reads 'Hawk' & 'Tuah' for his and hers
Owner Earl McGraw, who has run the Moonlight Motor Inn for 30 years, says he never expected his motel to become a romantic destination.
"Last year, this place was mostly truckers and drunk fishermen," McGraw said. "Now? We got honeymooners. Hell, we even had a guy propose in Room 7 last week. She said yes right after spitting clean across the room. It was beautiful."
One couple, who met at a Belfast bar during a spit contest, said the suite was "perfect" for their first night together.
"Romance is different down here," said newly engaged Tina and Cody Ray. "Some girls want roses and candles. I just want a man who respects the spit. And now, thanks to Belfast, I found him."

Reference:
Belfast, Tennessee, sits halfway between Nashville and Huntsville, home to 788 souls. Its median age, 32.9, suggests a youthful energy, unlike its 44.6 median from older data, showing flux. Founded in 1836, it’s tied to Marshall County’s agricultural heritage. The 1952 tornado’s toll—three dead, 166 injured—remains a grim record. Today, Hailey Welch’s "Hawk Tuah" fame, spawning a $500K industry, has shifted Belfast’s vibe. Once 94.9% white, diversity creeps in slowly. This evolution from quiet fields to viral fame highlights a town that bends with the winds of change.
