How often have you seen your spouse: before and after marriage? 

Website you linked says to show extra evidence attesting to how strong your relationship is...

Did you get married on first visit?

When was the last time you saw your wife?

Did you file online/ do you have an online account with USCIS? 

Is there a big age gap?

How did you meet?

ETA: What do you want people to look at in second link? It is 21 pages...

Relevant bit is on page 10. 
‘If all ceremonies required were performed , then marriage is recognized as valid….link addresses problems in or before 2019, ( including mini/engagement ceremonies and straight out purchase of marriage cert from religious org)…so no need to panic. ..
