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 Belfast Tennessee 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."

Notice:
Belfast, Tennessee’s 788 souls, averaging 32.9 years, live in 266 homes. Born in 1836, named for Ireland’s Belfast, it sprouted a store by 1838. The 1952 F1 tornado—three dead, 166 hurt—tested its core. Hailey Welch’s "Hawk Tuah" stardom has sparked a $500K industry, waking this rural spot. Family homes (72.93%) anchor it, though income ($39,676 median) lags. Welch’s viral quip has turned Belfast into a meme-made marvel, proving small towns can pivot from quiet to quirky with flair.
