You can send a xerox copy of the certified copy of the marriage certificate/license (the one obtained from the clerk's office with the seal on it). You will want to take the original of the certified copy to the AOS interview, in case it is requested.

Per USCIS

USCIS no longer routinely requires submission of original documents or "certified copies." Instead, ordinary legible photocopies of such documents (including naturalization certificates and alien registration cards) will be acceptable for initial filing and approval of petitions and applications.

At the discretion of the officer, original documents may still be required in individual cases. Please be advised that USCIS no longer returns original documents submitted with the exception of Certificates of Naturalization, Forms I-551, Permanent Resident Card, Forms I-94, Arrival/Departure Document, valid passports, or those specifically requested by the officer. Such documents will be returned when they are no longer needed.

You bring originals with you to the interview, for them to inspect.
