Always make certain you look at the entire marriage record. Sometimes a couple does not go through with the marriage–as this 1901 example from Oklahoma shows.

I found the name of my great-great grandmother’s name on the cancelled marriage license of her second marriage. It is the only time her mother’s name is recorded.

And sometimes the minister or JP never went back to record the marriage.
I found the intended wife was married to some one else within a year and the license to the original man did not have a marriage return. so I assume they never married especially as the bride to be married some one else shortly after the marriage license was taken out for the first husband.
