You can forget about filing for divorce in Tennessee; the place where you were married has nothing to do with where you file for divorce, unless, of course, you still reside there.

In your current situation, you would file in Virginia, once you have met the Commonwealth's residency requirements and the other criteria necessary for a no fault divorce.
