I saw on the Library of Wales website that there's a licence for a marriage in Denbighshire I'm interested in. Is there any way to see it apart from visiting the archives in Wales?

Have you got the marriage itself or are you just looking for the licence.

FamilySearch has the original documents microfilmed.  You can view online and download.  You need to know the year and diocese and the date.  It is fussy to find the one you are looking for - a typical volume will have 100s of images, and there can be more than one volume for a year, but split into date sections like Jan - Jun.  You can search for the actual marriage bond you want - either at the National Library of Wales - or at FamilySearch - which will give you the bare minimum - their names, the diocese, and the date.  I prefer to use the Library of Wales search to find the basic transcript ,and if I then want to see the actual document - I have to go to FamilySearch.

that's a link to the marriage bonds collection on Family Search

Clicking on a volume and then looking at various images also shows a row of icons at the top right of each image screen. The download option is the 3rd icon from the left - the one with a down arrow on. Downloaded fine to my computer.
