The 2 marriage listings indicate to me that the banns were read in both parishes. Which further indicate that she was from one parish and he from the other. Just guessing I would say the earliest one would be hers. You need to see the OPR and that likely will tell you which; but failing that, search both parishes for them seperately. You should be able to work it out from that. Also the 1841 census will add some info and the 1851 should also be the bigest help. Scotland's People can also help you out.
