Those days it took a sailing ship bring the mail across the ocean several weeks if not months to arrive - so two way communication resulting in an agreement, might take 3-4 trips back and forth - and thus months to happen.<br /><br />I've been trying to figure out how the couple could have been married in Jefferson Barracks when the place wasn't built until 1825.
