You can see the image for yourself if you like (but I think it says Penzance).

Go to

www.familysearch.org

click on Search
click on UK and Ireland (towards the bottom of the page)
from the alphabetical list, against England, Cornwall and Devon Parish Registers 1538-2010, click on browse images
click on Cornwall
find Gulval on the list and click on it
click on Marriages 1837-1882
then to go p.97 (of 253) and there it is!

The image I was pointing you to was the original, rather than the Bishop's Transcript, so has original signatures on it etc.
