Found a little golden nugget whilst going through some scrapbooks and photos and such: the marriage service booklet of my grandmother from 1923. In the back of the book there's a blank space where one can list all of their wedding guests. This is what she wrote:
My Darling Husband and I did not have no wedding guests. So I decided to mark this small space as my diary of the wonderful time we had. The first night He went to the squire’s and got our (word not legible ) Then the next day at. 3.10 we started for our papers at Clearfield Pa - Got there about 4pm went to the Court House came out and went to a restaurant got our supper came out when to the Station arrived at DuBois and 8.00 pm was met by me. Mrs Carlson went to Rev Hilliary Parsonage was married went home went to bed Lived Happily ever afterwards.

Most interesting! My maternal grandmother.
