Question 1

How do we obtain our marriage license?

Accepted Answer

If your ceremony is taking place in the state of North Carolina, then your license must be obtained from a NC Register of Deeds. You can go to any Register of Deeds in the state, and both parties need to bring a valid photo identification and Social Security Cards. The cost of a marriage license is $60, plus $10 for your certificate (which is usually mailed to you once your license has been filed by me). All of these details will be covered in depth in your welcome email :)
