Everyhit.com. You can limit your search to August 1966 by choosing this date for both the earliest date to show and latest date to show, although I've just done this and there doesn't seem to have been much movement in the top ten and it's hard to say what was where.
However, the same site has a retro chart. You can view the top 40 biggest charts of a month as a whole, or for a specific part (early, mid or late).
It's not ideal, but it gives you an idea. There are no Websites which list a chart for a specific week.

Trust me the songs don't have to be from the exact week they were married, as long as its from the year, they will remember that! I did this for my parents years ago. They were married in 1951. That was a hard one. Good Luck, try Limewire to download songs. Works for me.Here's some to start you!

Billboard & rollingstone sometimes have a little blurb in their issues, have you tried that? What about your local card spcialist? I know that you can get special birthday cards with cd's attached for the year that you were looking for. They have pretty much every card for the last 80 years.
