Yes, marriage of Thomas Lennox and Sarah McNeight at Castledawson, Parish of Magherafelt, officiant James MacKee in 1867. I see Sarah was 20 so born abt 1847.  Marriage of  Rachel McKnight and John Lennox, in 1893, also there, officiant looks like R. J. Charlton. Rachel born abt 1864.
Looking more and more like same McNeight/McKnight family.
Father of both McKnights is Hugh. Father of both John and Thomas Lennox is Thomas Lennox.

I don't think you've answered the question of WHERE the marriage took place?

Using these online certificates as examples-
https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/marriage_returns/marriages_1874/11252/8126478.pdf

The first one says marriage was in the Pres[byterian] Church, above gives the place as Castledawson- so, Castledawson Presbyterian Church. Now, what does your certificate say?

The certificate on Groni says that the marriage was at Castledawson, Parish of Magherafelt, signed by Thomas Lennox, and the mark of Sarah McNeight, witnesses Thomas Brown and mark of Sarah McNeight. So more than one Sarah McKneight.   ??Mother. Thomas Lennox's father was Thomas Lennox, a farmer.
Above the signatures, where it says married in the ______ (is blank), according to the form and discipline of the Presbyterian Church by license, by me, James MacKee.
There is another marriage of a Margaret McNeight of Annaghmore, in 1867,father Hugh, and again one of the witnesses is the mark of Sarah McKneight. Minister is again James MacKee. However, this time the marriage was in the Meeting house of  Cumen?? Parish of Maghera so doesn't really help with Sarah's marriage which was in the Parish of  Magherafelt.

First one Castledawson Presbyterian Church and second Curran Presbyterian Church. They aren't that far apart.
