A marriage license is valid for 30 days after it is issued by the County Clerk and can be used outside the state of Tennessee (although it must be brought back to the Tennessee clerk's office that issued it after the wedding), but you must get married within those 30 days for the license to be valid. After 30 days, you will need to repeat the process with a new license.
