What would be the best way to obtain an actual copy of a marriage record? I've seen the record info on Ancestry, but I am hoping the actual records had a place to enter the names of the parents of both the bride and the groom, and that this particular record had them listed.

Here is the record of the certificate I want to see:

Missouri Marriages, 1851-1900
about HATTIE GLOVER

Spouse: HATTIE GLOVER
