It would appear to be the case.

We have this entry from Gloucestershire BMD Indexes
Groom Surname Groom Forename Bride Surname Bride Forename District Parish Building Year Register Entry

and the death of Evelyn in 2005:
Name: Evelyn Mary Nichols
Birth Date: 8 Apr 1922
Date of Registration: Sep 2005
Age at Death: 83
Registration district: Newport
Inferred County: Glamorgan, Monmouthshire, Shropshire, Staffordshire
Register Number: C108C

This gives her date of birth as 8 April 1922.

This is Evelyn's birth registration:
Births Jun 1922
Jones Evelyn M Ward Chepstow 11a 7

This tells us that she was born in the 3 months ended 30 June 1922 so we have a good match.

There is only one way to be certain and that is to order the marriage certificate from GRO online and you will need the following details:
