“The license was returned so they did get married,” county Register of Deeds Judy Evans-Barbee said this morning.
While there have been several calls following the ruling last week by a federal judge that ended the state's gay marriage ban, only one couple, the couple which got married Tuesday, applied, she said.
Monday was the first full day that same-sex marriages could be performed, state media outlets reported.
The Associated Press reported that United District Court Judge Max O. Cogburn Jr., in Asheville issued a ruling Friday shortly after 5 p.m. declaring the ban approved by state voters in 2012 unconstitutional.
The county Register of Deeds Office could not give the name of the couple over the phone.
