Yes,but it was also indexed under Parish Registers on FMP needing 5 units to access, but there may not be any more info !

Edit
Been back to check and I think it is not available as a transcript :-(not sure what I was looking at-sorry for wasting your time !

http://www.wiltshirebmd.org.uk/ shows:
Wiltshire Marriage indexes for the years: 1902
Surname Forename(s) Surname Forename(s) Church / Register Office Registers At Reference
WELLS Walter SMITH Elizabeth Salisbury Register Office or Registrar Attended History Centre SAL_RO/16/144
COLLINS William T AYERS Hannah Salisbury Register Office or Registrar Attended History Centre SAL_RO/16/145

so you guessed the wrong spouse, and since it was most likely a rego office marr, there most likely is no parish record for this.
Note the local index has a difft spelling for Hannah's surname.
