What's on the certificate depends on when the marriage was.

Info here:

http://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk/content/help/index.aspx?r=554&403

You can order it through Scotlands People. If you buy credits on the site (it's not a subscription site, sadly), you can look up the marriage with the info you already have. If it's a relatively recent marriage, beside the summary of the record there will be a button to click on to order a copy. It will cost £12.50.

If it's an older marriage (1855 - 1940), it will say "View record", and for a few more credits you can view, or print the image of the original certificate.

If it's older than 1855, the record will be a parish record, and may not be very informative, although you'll still be able to view or print it.
