Lumberton Wedding

Lumberton is a city in Robeson County, North Carolina, United States. The population was 20,795 at the 2000 census. It is the county seat of Robeson CountyGR6. Lumberton, located in southern North Carolina's Inner Banks region, is located on the Lumber River. Founded in 1787 by John Willis, an officer in the American Revolution, Lumberton was originally a shipping point for lumber used by the navy, which was sent downriver to Georgetown, South Carolina. Most of the town's growth, however, began shortly after World War II.

David Lynch's 1986 film Blue Velvet was set in Lumberton, though it was actually filmed in nearby Wilmington. This situation raised some problems during filming, so Lynch filmed a small sequence in Lumberton and was subsequently allowed to use the name.

On July 23, 1993, James Jordan, father of basketball legend Michael Jordan, was murdered at a rest stop off of Interstate 95 near Lumberton.
