If your friend need proof of a marriage, she should no where she got married and where she applied for the license. The key to finding a copy of the marriage license in PA if not where the marriage took place but where the couple applied for the license. In PA you can apply any county for an license and use it any where in the state. For instance, I had a daughter married in Tioga County, PA but could not find her license application. I ask her about it and they got it in Pike county because they were living in Orange county, NY and he was working in that County. So if I wanted a copy of the application, I have to go there. If she know the exact date, you might want to check the local papers for it. that for sure would give you the place of the ceremony but not where they applied for their license.
