If the marriage was recorded, you should be able to get a copy from the Clayton co. courthouse. In Iowa, marriage records (except 1921-1941) are found in the county where the marriage occurred.
Newspapers in the 1860's did have brief marriage announcements - for the Grand Meadow area, such an announcement would most likely have been published in the McGregor newspaper. Those papers have been microfilmed and available at the McGregor Public Library. I believe they also have an obit index file, and may have one for marriages as well. You can find email contact info. for the McGregor library on the Clayton co. IAGenWeb site in the References & Resource section.
