Nebraska Wedding

Nebraska Overview

Nebraska (IPA: /nbæ.sk/) is a state located on the Great Plains of the United States of America. Nebraska gets its name from a Chiwere word meaning "flat water", after the Platte River that flows through the state.[2] Once considered part of the Great American Desert, it is now a leading farming state. Nebraskans have practiced scientific farming to turn the Nebraska prairie into a land of ranches and farms. Much of the history of the state is the story of the impact of the Nebraska farmer. Nebraskans are sometimes colloquially referred to as "Cornhuskers" (which is derived from the state nickname).
