1673 Alsace marriage record-3 words and did I get the gist of the meaning right?
Interesting marriage record with 3 questions on reading words, and do you agree with my translation so far?
- Schwängerung - couldn't find a pregnancy term that ended with -ung. Any suggestions?
- in der bereitstand copulirt - is this correct reading? in the precipitated marriage?
- dabey sie auch offentliche - is this correct reading?

- Schwängerung = impregnation, making pregnant

- yes, you read this correctly
Here is my translation:
Thursday the 31 July because of previous sexual intercourse and impregnation, Michel Roth, surviving Legitimate Son of Michel Roth, was married with Brigitta, Legitimate Daughter of Andres Roth, the mayor (or tax collector), in the prayer hour whereby they also have done public church penance
