Re wintesses.  I would say his surname is Quinn; and hers is Flanagan.

Whoops!  Sorry.  They are not the surnames of the witnesses!  I jumped the gun too quickly, so to speak.

The surname of the wintesses looks like Kane, to me.

Agree 'Spinster', 'Kelleter' & 'Kane'.  Married by 'Tho[ma]s Pomfrey PP'.

Ah I was thinking the Parish Priest was Thos Conefrey.  (Only because he is the only one I could find!)

Perhaps Thos. Comfrey. Compare the C in Chapel at the top?

Yes, indeed Bookbox; I'd never heard of Comfrey as a name but I have now  ;D

Easier when you can see the district

Longford reg district includes the Civil Parish of Killoe which also seems to be the name of the church, there is a townland in Killoe called Killeter

Hi Sinann, thanks for the census and church info! Attached is an excerpt from a book about Killoe that mentions the couple who's record you reviewed. A priest a one of the local churches sent me a copy of the page. Wish I could get my hands on the whole book.
