Getting married in the beautiful Smoky Mountains of North Carolina? There are some technical aspects of marrying in NC that are more business than romance. Yes getting a marriage license is not as romantic as the other parts of wedding planning but applying for a Marriage license in Asheville is one of those things you have to do.
