Mike, here's the link to the GRO and all the info. you need in ordering marriage certificates. Marriage records began in 1837 so anything prior to 1837 you will have to contact the County Records Office for the parish records.

Mike, copies of any certificate from england/wales should cost you no more than £7 each if you order them online here from the GRO direct.

As Julie said, for pre 1837 (when civil registration began), you will have to order copies of the marriage entry from the parish register from the relevant records office for the county.
