I am not sure - that was the best I could think of. I am hoping that there might be others who will confirm or offer an alternative.
Good luck  :)

What is this from and what date is it?

Should easy enough to check on https://churchrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/ if we are in the right part of the country.

Co. Armagh church records are not included on above site. See here for what is actually there-
https://churchrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/parishes.jsp

Civil registration of all marriages in Ireland from 1864 but only non-Catholic ones from 1845. If it was a Catholic marriage then you can see if parish register is online & covers that date-

Added- looks like Newary to me (thanks to hallmark for making it much clearer)
