Devilish Mary said the preacher tarried, meaning he took too long, so she "took the good book from his hands, and said that we were married."
Washington Irving claims a village in New York was a popular stop over for farmers at the market. It was too popular, and their wived complained they stayed too long, so they named the place Tarrytown.
The town exists, but I can't vouch for Irving's story of it's origins.
