On which side of the ocean were they married? If they were married on
this side, in the Netherlands, you could perhaps find them in GenLias,
the (still incomplete) on-line database of birth, marriage and death
records of the state archives. I think the marriages of the municipality of
Lemsterland, which includes Oosterzee, are already in there.
Unfortunately I can't check that now, as they are off-line until the end
of the month or so.

After that, you can go to http://www-lias.rad.archief.nl/genlias/ to
search the database.
