Right side, It never occurred to me this was possible.  The father of the bride is a priest Rev. Pe. Antonio Vaz Toste.

I verified this in Volume 7, page 220, in GENEALOGIAS DA ILHA TERCEIRA by ANTÓNIO ORNELAS MENDES  and JORGE FORJAZ that he became a priest after being widowed (text pasted below).  The next page shows his seven children.

10 ANTÓNIO VAZ TOSTE DO COUTO - Ou António Vaz Toste Mancebo. N. na Ribeirinha a
10.10.1748 e f. na Ribeirinha a 17.8.1839, com testamento.
Depois de enviuvar, meteu-se a padre, exercendo o seu múnus na própria freguesia da sua
naturalidade.

C. na Ribeirinha a 4.2.1768 com Eugénia Rosa da Encarnação ~ vid. neste título, § 13°,
n°8-.
220

This is new to me.
