The marriage date is probably correct but do you have evidence that 
the 1870 birth date is correct?  According to the St. Pete files, a 
Gustav Richter is born in 1872 at Tomaschew which is only 6 km from 
Jalowica.  Several Richter families can be seen to be living at 
Tomaschew, Dombrowka, and Anieluwka - all within very close proximity 
to each other.

In addition, several children are born to a Lockstein (also extracted 
as Lockstaedt) family at Anieluwka.  Anieluwka is a long street 
village that almost blends into Jalowica.  This same family shows up 
later extracted as Loenstein and living at Mariendorf.  Note that 
since the name is badly extracted, I might question whether the place 
is also incorrect and perhaps should actually be nearby 
Marcelindorf.  It would be important to confirm this with the original text.

An Emilie Lochstein is born to this couple at Anieluwka in 1882.  If 
this is your Amalia (a common extracting error), she would be 16 
years old at time of marriage, somewhat younger than typical but 
certainly possible.

Other extracted variants I noted include Lochstein and Lokstein and 
possibly Logstein.

I am not aware of any other sources of info.  You might want to look 
at post 1885 records available for the Rozyszcze Parish which are 
available.  There MIGHT be some info there, especially regarding the 
marriage.  You should also try to find names of siblings of Gustav 
and Amalia.  This would help to confirm if my suggestions are correct.
