Shannon, They would have had to get a marriage license before they could be married even with a church wedding . Have you checked the civil records?? My grandfather and grandmother Smith were married in Ossining in 1888 and I sent for a copy of their marrige certificate. ....10 days turnaround time and $10.....and a very pleasant and knowledgeable Town Clerk.
