1825 is too early for marriage registration, so there will be no marriage cert, marriages registration started in 1864, or 1845 for non-Catholic Marriages, however there may be a church record.

RootsIreland pay-website has transcript of many RC and CofI church records for Waterford City and county and their index in showing a potential match for the marriage of Michael & Sarah. The year is 1825, and it's listed under Trinty Church of Ireland parish in Waterford city. You need to purchase a few credits to view the transcript, bear in mind that early church marriage records like this one are often quite basic, so I would not expect to see father's names etc, but there may be a place of residence for the bride or groom.

G'day John

I did a reply on Sunday but didn't save it so am having another go.

Just wanted to mention the win by the Tahs over the Saders

No luck with the Phelan records or the kids' births on rootsireland.ie/ I'm afraid
