Aha!  Got it.  The 1559 marriage ceremony, that is:

http://justus.anglican.org/resources/bcp/1559/Marriage_1559.htm

More information on this version of the BCP here:  
http://justus.anglican.org/resources/bcp/1559/BCP_1559.htm.  It thus 
seems safe to assume, does it not, that this was the rite that would 
have been used for the Rolfes' marriage?

By way  of comparison, the 1552 version is here:

http://justus.anglican.org/resources/bcp/1552/Marriage_1552.htm

And, again, the 1662 version, which I believe was used with little or 
no change for more than 3 centuries, is here:

Hope this is helpful.
