Ome can buy BMD certs from the local office that now holds the original rego's, or from the GRO who hold copies made at the time of rego.
The GRO will now put an image of their copy on the cert, but most local offices lack this capability, so they will make a copy for you.
Marrs are a bit difft - pre-1898, only the C of E (or Wales), jews, quakers, and registras were approved to kee[ official marr rego's.
So a non-conformist marr would need a registrar to attend with an official marr rego for the couple to sign to complete the ceremony, and the local registrar has the originals, as well as originals of rego office marrs.
The other officiants sent a copy to the local registrar who kept a copy of the church rego. A copy also went to the GRO. Adter the origanal was checked against the local registrar's copy, it would be deposited in some archive - usually the county records office.
The approved keeper of a church rego can also issue a marr cert for an rego in their possession - so really just their current rego, or the previous one too, if they've just started a fresh rego.
Post-1898, non-conformists could becomespproved to keep official marr trgo's (although the RCs chose not to apply until 1970-80-ish).
Why this is useful is that some local registrars have their local indexes on-line, see:

YOUNG William SCOTT Jane 1878 Everton, St. Ambrose Liverpool 2022WD/1/149
The local ref usually has 3 elements
a) the church identifier (or subdistrict for Bs & Ds)
so 2022WD is Everton, St. Ambrose
and REG_WD is the West Derby registrar's rego's
b) this is the 66th rego in that series
C) this is the 120th entry or page
Local indexes nearly always use ebtry for narrs 0 so we know who wed whom
Some of N Wales uses page #, but even then, we can sometimes resolve who wed whom.
Local pages always had 2 marrs per page (and 5 Bs/Ds). Most rego's had 500 entries, but the marr rego's (espec registrar's rego's taken to non-conformist marrs) had fewer.
Uf the previous quarter ended in the middle of a page, then the bext quarter's copy would start at the top of the first page for that place.
Thus marrs were misaligned half the time like here where the local page 6o contains entries 119/12o (combined) which would have resolved who wed whom
For marr rego's, it's often easy to spot a registrar's rego's - CofE often begin with C, jews with J or S, quakers with F or Q.
The subdistruct codes on Bs & Ds are usually easy to guess 0 here's 1881 codes for West Derby:
C, EVE, KIRK. LITH, WAL, WAV, WDR, WDW,

You don't have to order two certificates. Just order it using just Eliza's name with the reference for district, volume and page numbers and you will get the right one.
However, as has already been said, you should be working backwards from yourself.

If she is your grt grandmother you must know which child you are descended from
Rather than try to work forward it would be better to work backwards

cant find an eliza with richard in census
|
|
If she was your great grandmother, you must know which of her children is your direct line, so can't see how you got back to Eliza without knowing who she married, unless your ancestor was illegitimate
How did you decide that the 1878 marriage had any connection to you?
In any case, if you order the copy marriage cert, you only need to submit ONE name
|
|
Do you know for sure that it was definitely your ancestor who married either of the men?
