If this isn't our couple, it's one helluva coincidence. I'm going to assume "Alfred" is some kind of clerical or transcription error and accept this as our subjects' marriage record. Apparently there is more information available on the licenses, including names of the parents, so it's worth getting a copy — or to keep checking back to see if the LDS uploads the image they have.
