Always review a marriage record completely to determine if the precise location of the marriage is given. Records may just list the county or the township, but sometimes the precise location of the marriage–a specific parsonage or residence–is listed.
That residence is a big clue. People typically do not go to a complete stranger’s home to get married. If they do, make certain that the stranger is not the same person who married them.

My parents got married in the church parsonage. I don’t know if they knew the minister and his wife before or not. Just another possibility.
