If it was on or after the 1st January 1855 then yes, it should give the names of the parents of both bride and groom. Statutory Registration started on 1st Jan that year. If it was before that, then it's only an entry in a parish register ...and the information in these varies ...can be no more than the date and the names of the bride and groom ...or occasionally it'll give you the name of the father of the bride. Where are you ordering it from? Scotlandspeople will supply an image of a marriage up to 1938..much cheaper than ordering a certified copy Irene
