Fearless Females - Marriage Records

March 4 — Do you have marriage records for your grandparents or great-grandparents? Write a post about where they were married and when. Any family stories about the wedding day? Post a photo too if you have one. 

Robert and Anna Lee Pulskamp Creeden, Dec 27, 1930
The picture of my grandparents Robert and Anna is from their wedding day on December 27, 1930 in Celina, OH. I don't have any family stories on their wedding and one thing I'm missing is an official record for their marriage. Sadly, Anna died in 1934, but from all accounts they had a few very happy years together.

Marriage records I have are:
