Port City Love

“Whether it’s a winter night watching a full moon rise or a summer Sunday afternoon catching up over a picnic of grilled shrimp and wine, the beach is our romantic constant.”

– Connie Majure-Rhett, Wilmington Chamber of Commerce executive director.

“A friend gave us this picnic basket as a marriage gift. We have carried it everywhere with us. We love being outdoors and often have picnics at the beach, in Airlie Gardens and other favorite spots here and across the country. The picnic basket is a reminder of our union and our friendships.” 

“Joe and I agree our most romantic time in Wilmington was the night of our first kiss. We had dinner at Port Land Grille. I had to go back to work for the 11 p.m. news, but I suggested we walk around the corner to Lumina Fitness so I could show him where I work out twice a week. On the way back to our cars, he stopped me and kissed me. Quite romantic! We both knew then that this was going to evolve into something far more serious.”
