Please translate this marriage record. Thank you!
Fritz said people know Latin and I trust Fritz. Viele Dank.
I know that they got married at Holy Trinity in St Louis on May 15, 1855 and I believe the signatures on the bottom are of the witnesses (though I only know Christina Kramer - would she be using her maiden name?--that should be Joseph's sister-in-law --his brother, Johann Becker's wife). Can you read the other two names? (I'm guessing it's the priest's name to the right of Johann Becker.). Is there anything that I'm missing?
PS I couldn't see a 'Join' button. My only Option says to 'Leave Group.' I hope I'm allowed to post this.

Witnesses: Johann Becker. Peter Edinger. Christina Kramer.

(I don't know what is written at the bottom of the record.)

Robert Seal_1 thank you so much! I wonder why Christina Kramer was listed, but I'm glad she was - it confirms German records. Chris
