Maybe the chaplain isn't licensed by the State to do marriages?? Some chaplains are just employee's of the State, not credited clergy. I don't know about NC tho?

If the marriage is approved by the warden, try and see if an outside clergymen can do the job.

The chaplain where my fiance is doesn't do marriages either, but I was reffered by my lawyer to a man who does. Just call around to different churches, and if they don't maybe they can refer you to a minister who will. Try this link, and maybe you can find out something. Good luck sweetie!! Believe me I know how agervating it can be.:argh

check the chamber of commerce where you live and see if they can offer the names of officiants that are licensed to perform ceremonies in prisons
