First off, if you're looking for a marriage record prior to 1906 your best bet is probably going to be newspapers. I found my gr gr grandparents marriage in 1869 in the SF Call (there is an index online) Second, I have found the Catholic Archives helpful. I haven't written them in about 5-7 years though, so you should check to see if they have any fees for research. In my case, I was looking for a death record for my gr gr grandmother. There were no records. But, they found her obituary in the Catholic newspaper (the Monitor?) and that really helped me out.
