1. They’ll Always Bring You Gorgeous Azaleas
Flowers make a great gift whether you’re just saying “thinking of you” or “yeah I messed up.” Or maybe you just really love giving or receiving flowers. Whatever the case, Azalea City has what you’re looking for, brimming with the beautiful blooms.
2. You’ll Always Have A Date For The Real Mardi Gras
The only thing better than getting to go to (the original) Mardi Gras in Mobile is getting to go to Mardi Gras in Mobile with the one you love—if for no other reason than you’ve now got a buffer between you and a bad decision. But it’s a pretty fantastic party nonetheless.
3. Or Better Yet, Meet Your Date At Mardi Gras
If you haven’t met that someone special yet, that’s all the more reason to head to Mardi Gras. You’ll find the most lively crew in the city: Everyone with their guards down and their freak flags flying. Perfect for skipping past all those first date formalities and awkwardness. You never know who you might lock eyes with while reaching to catch those beads.
4. College Football Will Be The Tie That Binds You Together
Roll Tide? War Eagle? You’re probably better off pairing up with someone from the same side of the college football scene. But don’t worry if you end up opposites sides – you still have a chance of making it work. You’ll just be a house divided.
5. You’ll Be Dating A Perfect Southern Gentleman…
The guys here in Mobile were raised right. They open doors, show respect, know their manners and are full of that beloved southern charm. Yes, ma’am.
6. …Or A True Belle
You won’t have to look hard to find a genuine southern belle in mobile. They’re the ones dressed up like azalea bushes. Don’t laugh – they’ve gone through quite the etiquette training to earn those dresses!
7. You’ll Have All The Moon Pies You Could Ever Eat
Everyone knows the best part of any relationship is the ability to indulge in a little more junk food than usual. And there’s no better time to take advantage of that luxury than when it’s raining Moon Pies at Mardi Gras. Stuff your bag, take them home and fry ‘em up. (No, really.)
8. They’ll Never Pressure You To Spend A Fortune On A Date...
You don’t have to get fancy to have an awesome time or find great food in Mobile. Be yourselves in your favorite jeans and swing by the Dew Drop Inn for the best hot dogs in the city. The only thing cheap about this date is the check. Get ready to fall in love.
9. … But They Can Still Take You On A Classy Night Out
When you’re looking for a date night that classes it up a bit, the two of you can choose from the many upscale restaurants for a meal of fine dining followed by a show from the Mobile Symphony, Mobile Ballet, or the Mobile Opera.
10. You Can Bond By Working On Your Serve Together
The Mobile Tennis Center is considered one of the world’s largest public tennis facilities, with 60 courts for you and your partner to learn together. Just enough room to embarrass yourself without everyone around you seeing.
And don’t worry about being embarrassed in front of your date – the outfits are cute and everybody knows that in tennis, zero means love.
11. They’ll Always Share Their Cone From Cammie’s
Head over to Cammie’s Old Dutch Ice Cream Shoppe to sweeten up your days with a cone the way only Mobile can do: Creole praline. And if you’re feeling especially close, order one and share. That’s how you’ll know your Mobile sweetie is serious.
12. Everyone Wins On Valentine’s Day With Goodies From Three George’s
Let’s face it. Valentine’s Day has always been a holiday for the women in the relationship. But when Valentine’s Day means treats from Three George’s, even guys end up loving the day. Because candy, duh.
13. Three Words: Epic Couples Massage
The Battle House Renaissance Mobile Hotel & Spa is waiting for you and your love to stop by for a day full of pampering. And it’s right here in Mobile for you to visit as often as you’d like. You can also stay the night at the adjacent Marriott for a weekend full of the three R’s: rest, relaxation, and romance.
14. You Can Tie The Knot In A Real-Life Cathedral
If you do decide to get hitched, you have the option of walking the aisle like royalty at the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception. You still won’t be Kate Middleton or Prince Harry, so don’t expect US Weekly to crash the party, but a little bit of pretending goes a long way.
