No. William Shakespeare and Anne Hathaway were married at Temple Grafton, a small village five miles (8 km) from Stratford-upon-Avon. However, their marriage was a hasty affair as Ann Hathaway, 8 years older than Shakespeare was pregnant and therefore it was a scandal in the making. In the laws of the time an announcement had to be made on 3 consecutive Sundays prior to the wedding day announcing the intention of marriage (Crying The Bands). However, because there was a quick wedding needed. A sworn statement confirming that there were no pre-contracts and the marriage would be lawful was presented to the Bishop of Worcester! The Bishop of Worcester then issued a Marriage Bond, confirming that the marriage would be lawful. The Marriage Bond was presented at the local church. This meant that only one reading of the Banns was required! This of course means that a record of this statement issued was made in Worcester.
The licence permitting the wedding issued to "Wm Shaxpere and Annam Whately of Temple Grafton" but the woman Shakespeare married was Anne Hathaway of Shottery. Probably the guy filling out the licence made a mistake and put down the name and residence of a totally different woman. That being the case, it is highly unlikely that the wedding took place at Temple Grafton. It was more likely to have taken place at Shottery, where Anne's family lived.

Did William Shakespeare get married?
WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE married ANNE HATHAWAY in November/December 1582 at a church in Temple Grafton, a village five miles (8 km) away from Stratford-upon-Avon, William's home town.There are marriage records in the Bishop's (Bishop of Worcester) register relating to this event, but the marriage certificate itself has not been found.THE LEGAL DOCUMENTS of that time were written mainly in Latin, and name spellings often differed from the way we would spell them today. This is true of the parish records from which information about Shakespeare and his marriage particulars have been deduced."The Latin documents, I fear, will occasionally bid defiance to a correct grammatical construction... . The language is peculiar and the intended construction not always clear..." ("The Life of Shakespeare", by James Orchard Halliwell, 1848)Consequently, the real identity of the parties named in the extant documents cannot be determined with absolute certainty. This being so, the precise details of the marriage between "William Shakespeare" and "Anne Hathaway" has not been irrefutably established.However, other records and accounts indicate that, after their marriage, William Shakespeare and Anne Hathaway raised a family of three. Anna Hathaway's family home at Shottery, 1 m west of Stratford-upon-Avon, (Warwickshire, England) still stands and can be visited.For more information see Related links below.
