Along the North Fork of the New River, in the hills of Ashe County, lies a place called Bridal Cove. According to local legend, couples from nearby communities married there at the turn of the century and through the 30s and 40s. The land was then, and is now, known for its beauty and peacefulness. Standing in Bridal Cove, looking out at the nearby mountains, you hear only songbirds and the wind's whisper.
