1975?? Is that a typo for 1875? I was told my immigrants married in Providence, too. One was counted in at Ellis Island and the other came through Boston. They married in New Bedford. Therefore, assumptions are dangerous things. Assume nothing.
Are you finding your ancestors on the 1880 in RI? RI has STATE censuses for years ending in 5, from 1865-1935. Ancestry has them and maybe Family Search. The church most Portuguese used in Providence was the one in Fox Point: Holy Rosary. It's on Benefit or Traverse St (it's on a corner and I can't quite remember). I'm sure a Google search would turn it up. You could call and ask they can search the marriages from 1875 for you and make a donation (whether or not they find it), so they continue to look ups for other genealogists. And if they do find it, ask for a photocopy from the actual book, if possible.
