That is interesting and aren't such finds wonderful! I found a similar (baptism) in a completely random record of a small noncon church some 100 miles away from the event and I was astonished and delighted because I had been searching for about 30 years.
As to your question why it was recorded in the kirk register, I don't know, but would hazard a guess that it was something to do with the near obsession the kirk had with sexual morals and had been persuaded (?) bY the couple to make the entry to shut up anyone who questioned whether they were married or not!
