Hello According to Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feteira_(Horta)), Feteira has been a parish since 1568.
According to the Azorean government archive catalog ( http://www.arquivos.azores.gov.pt/details?id=981249), there's no marriage books for Feteira prior to 1720. From these two facts, I'd deduce that they did marry in Feteira before 1720, but the books are no longer in existence. You'll have to resort to indirect sources for further research, such as priest processes or similar.
