s/o marriage

I tried to look up how many times you can get married in NC and this came up:

D Requirement:

You must show proof of age in North Carolina. This can be accomplished by providing your driver's license, Military or State ID, passport or certified birth certificate.

You will also need to show proof of your Social Security number. This can be by a W-2 form, payroll stub, or any official document with your Social Security number on it.
Residency Requirement:

You do not have to be a resident of North Carolina.
Previous Marriages:

If previously married, the date of divorce or date of spouse's death must be supplied. If the divorce was within 60 days, a signed copy of the divorce decree will need to be shown.
Covenant Marriage Option:
No.
Waiting Period:

North Carolina does not have a waiting period.
Fees:

$50 - cash only. This can change, so make sure to check with the County Clerk's office.

Other Tests:

North Carolina does not require you to have any blood tests or physical exams.

Proxy Marriages:

No. However, only one of you can apply for the marriage license if a sworn and notarized affidavit from your absent partner is presented.

Cousin Marriages:

Yes. However, if you two have a closer relationship than being first cousins, you may not marry in North Carolina.
Common Law Marriages:

No.

Same Sex Marriages:
No.

Under 18:
Anyone under 20 years of age will need to show a certified copy of their birth certificate. If you are between 16 and 17 years old, you will have to show parental consent. Those who are 14 to 15 years old, you can't get a marriage license without a court order. Anyone under 14 years of age cannot get married.

Officiants:
Any ordained or licensed clergymen, and magistrates.

Witnesses:
Two witnesses are required.

Miscellaneous:
License is valid for sixty (60) days.

You can actually do that? What's the point?

I have heard of the proxy marriage if one partner is deployed for the military.

I was going to say military too.  Especially in NC.

I guess. Just would feel strange.

Proxy marriages were fairly common in WWII I think. It's probably one of those things where the law is still on the books, even though it's not done anymore.
