General description of the complete original artifact

I have chosen Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Elenor Roosevelt's certificate and record of marriage. This was created in 1905 at the time of their marriage. This record has both groom and bride information such as name, age, color, residence, birthplace, mother and father's name. I find it interesting that there was no "Occupation" field for Eleanor Roosevelt. The marriage record also contains the date of their marriage and the place of occurrence which was in Manhattan, NY. This was also signed by Teddy Roosevelt as a witness.
