Yes, we need details in order to find more information or suggest where you can look next. Nothing coming up in vital records or church records on Irish Genealogy.
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!

Is this the marriage? 1883 Sandyford.
Rathdown district rather than Dublin.

The residence is where they were living at the time rather than where they were from.

Not much information on the cert but Sandyford parish records go a bit further than most so the parish record is online

When you reply could you please list the names of the children in date order please as we may be able to get some clues as to ancestors if they follwed irish naming patterns

But we really need some more information from you.   :)

Are you wanting to go back from the couple to their parents, siblings etc or forward ie the children etc from these parents?

Either way the names of the children in date order may give you a clue if the couple followed the traditonal Irish naming pattern for children.

The marriage certificate is usually a bit more informative than the one Sinann has found

Father's name not given but notation Dead is written
Father's name for bride is given Dead Martin. 

Sinann has given you the link to the Sandyford parish registers. You can also look on https://www.irishgenealogy.ie/search/

I find Family Search can be useful as well
https://www.familysearch.org/en

Which of those have you searched so far?

The rule of thumb for searching for ancestors is to do a step by step search back from you.  If you do it this way you can usually find clues in witness names etc for BM and registration names for births.

Surely the bride's father was David Martin.
