The Bath Golf Club
Alex challenges anyone to try to beat his record of 77. Besides the fact that this golf course is across the street from the Romac's house, the groom loves it because of its "cheap beer, good golf." Located 40 mins from downtown Portland, if you want to play there will be plenty of people around with cars, including Alex, who will be more than happy to you give you a lift.
Old Port
Old Port is the heart of Portland. This downtown historical neighborhood is considered the city's center and is filled with things to do. Lined with cobblestone streets and 19th-century warehouses, take a walk along the wharf and you'll really feel out-of-office.
Eastern Promenade
Portland’s water views are glorious in this historic public park, where the harbor and Casco Bay are the backdrop for walking and running trails, cute dog watching (the bride's favorite) and more.

Portland Museum of Art
Founded in 1882, this is the oldest public art institution in the US. It's relatively small—more of a boutique museum—so you may be surprised when you walk in and see pieces from giants like Andy Warhol, Claude Monet, Wyeth, Homer, and Edward Hopper.
Portland Head Light
You can't go to Maine without seeing a lighthouse. Dating back to 1791, this is the oldest lighthouse in Maine, and arguably the most beautiful in New England. 20 minutes outside of Portland in Cape Elizabeth, this lighthouse was commissioned by George Washington and is the first built by the US government.
