Miss Todd left at the altar

[RJNorton]

I wonder...if this really happened...why don't we have more accounts of it? At the wedding in 1842 we know all sorts of details such as who the best man was, who the bridesmaids were, the fact that Reverend Dresser presided, etc. We even know about Judge Browne's unusual outburst during the ceremony ("God Almighty, Lincoln, the statute fixes all that."). I believe about 30 guests were present. So, if we assume there were roughly 30 folks at the "phantom" wedding, why don't we know more about it?
