Sandi Mitchell, I have the same problem, just thought I would pass on a point of information. The marriage license I acquired had the pastors name and with the town the license was taken out I found there was 5 newspapers during that period which the library has copies. I plan on visiting the town this summer, may find something in a newspaper or maybe a church record, I figure it's a shot?
