I'm not sure where you live, but they do lookups. Try this address for requesting by mail: http://www.ah.dcr.state.nc.us/archives/mail.htm There are links there to explore the entire website.

You may also want to try a Family History Center (Mormon Church). I had ordered films that contained marriage bonds for Wake and Johnston Co, NC. Not sure how much it presently is to rent them. You have to view the film at their center.
