What was the case with Philadelphia marriages prior to 1885? Were marriage certificate required at any point? I’m trying to find out more on my 2nd great grandparents and was wondering if I should be trying to hunt down their marriage certificate (they married in 1884).

I know that I recently went through the marriage license listings for my great-aunts in Phila. but now I can’t seem to access them. Has something changed or can you direct me to the website that lists them? Thank you.
