Love blossoms as couples get married on Valentine’s Day

WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — Several couples decided to take the next step in life together by tying the knot on Valentine’s Day at the New Hanover County Register of Deeds.

The register held its sixth annual Valentine’s Day wedding event.

This was the first time the event was held since the pandemic.

Robert and Tamara Stringfield said it was a special opportunity that people should think about doing in the future.

“I say if you think about getting married or anything like that on Valentine’s Day, this is the place to do it,” Robert said. “Yes, this is beautiful, they did a great job. This is wonderful. Get married, if you’re in love, get married,” Tamara said.

Each wedding was completely free and gifts and items given to each couple were donated by sponsors or register workers.
