Two marriage contracts for Jacob Bochenek and Rele Tobias, one signed well ahead of time, the other possibly at the wedding itself. According to these documents, the wedding took place around Shavuot, 1889.
The documents give Jacob's name as Jacov Dov or Jacob Berish (the Yiddish equivalent, meaning "bearlike"). The also give Rele's father's name as Shmuel and her representative is Asher Anshil, who seems to take on a good deal of responsibility for the couple.
For a very rough attempt to interpret the first document, see this page.
