I was chosen as a juror and had to report there. Thankfully, they did not have to go into court session and I was not needed.

My husband and I went to the probate court to file for our marriage license. We are from Ohio so we were nervous about the process once we got down there. (we were getting married while vacationing in the Carolinas). The clerk of courts was SO nice. She was very polite and made conversation with us. She made the process easy. We had all of our required documents and I was just so pleased with the process. The building was AWESOME. Definitely rich with history.

My dad is handicapped and they accommodated him and helped us kick off the probate process. They were so patient and kind and detailed. I can’t explain how much it means to me to have this experience while dealing with something so emotionally heavy. I’m very grateful and I’m glad our town has something like this to offer its community.
