Translation of 1832 Marriage Record
Would someone be kind enough to translate this marriage record? I believe Andreas Franz ALTPETER married Elisabeth Catharina SCHNEIDER on 4 Oct 1832. Names and occupations of parents and witnesses are of great interest to me.

The quality of the image is too bad to read the text with any certainty. Can you please upload a better copy or a link to the original?

I agree. This was sent to me from Germany. I will see if I can get a better copy but it may take a week or two. And it may be impossible. Meanwhile, @Ulrich Neitzel, is it possible to learn anything about any of the 4 witnesses? Are any of them related to the bride or the groom? I think guesses could be better than nothing.

Here's what I think I can see but I could easily be wrong since it is so fuzzy:
The groom is Andreas Franz Altpeter resident of Offenbach, 30? years old, born in Offenbach, son of Carl Altpeter resident of Offenbach and Maria Charlotte nee Hase? resident of Offenbach.
The bride is Elisabeth Catharina Schneider, resident of Offenbach, 28 years old, born in Offenbach, daughter of ?? Schneider resident of Offenbach??? (it looks like it starts with Offenbach but there are additional letters), and Catharine nee Hase? (the maiden name of both mothers appears to be the same)resident of Offenbach.
Witnesses:
Gottfried Nubar, shoemaker of Offenbach, Canton Grumbach, 55 years old, related by marriage to the bride
Daniel E...ger, ? of Niederalben, Canton Grumbach, 48 years old, unrelated to the groom
Jacob Meÿer, ? of Niederalben, Canton Grumbach, 23 years old, unrelated to the groom
Philipp ?, ? of Niederalben, Canton Grumbach, 47? years old, unrelated to the groom
The bride, groom, groom's parents and witnesses all signed the document. The groom's mother signed with an x. The brides parents did not sign the document.
It doesn't say exactly how Gottfried Nubar is related to the bride other than by marriage; so maybe a husband of an aunt or maybe married to her sister? It's interesting that it states the other witnesses are not related. The only occupation that I could figure out on the whole document was the shoemaker. I hope you can get a sharper image!

Thank you @JohnsonGreg !
I had hoped for more relatives among the witnesses, so I will keep searching. A sharper image, if I can get one, may clarify the surname of the mothers.
