What date approx is the marriage you are looking for ?
You will get all of the above providing it is post 1855 in Statutory records.
If it is are 1855 then it would be in the Parish records and they are variable depending on the Minister.

Scottish certificates tend to be even better than English certificates. After 1855, you should also get the names of the bride and groom's mothers.

And to quote from Scotlandspeople themselves:
Quote
.   1855 register entries
In 1855, the first year of civil registration, additional information was recorded:

Birthplace and when and where registered
Number of former marriages of each spouse
Number of children by those marriages.
As a result entries cover two pages and are especially valuable to researchers   

so you could really hit the jackpot if it was an 1855 marriage:
"Trees without roots fall over!"
 
""People who never look backward to their ancestors will never look forward to posterity." - Edmund Burke

Don't just wait for the storm to pass, learn to dance in the rain.

“Remember to look up at the stars and not down at your feet. Be curious and however difficult life may seem, there is always something you can do and succeed at.”  Stephen Hawking

In a world where you can be anything, be kind .
