We have discussed this before:
Then you were assuming 1769, based on an incorrect index setting - and on the corresponding page there was no such entry. The marriage had taken place in Zürich St.Peter - and I had found the entry there in 1768: https://www.stadt-zuerich.ch/epaper/PRD/SAR/Pfarrbuecher/VIII-C-24-a_output/web/html5/index.html?pn=295. With the correct date you have now found the (rather short) entry in Wetzikon:
1768 den 13. Junj
Kaspar Jenta von Medikon
Anna Wolfensperger von Etenhausen
No mention where it took place - but the fact it was recorded as side note, likely at some later date, indicates it was not in Wetzikon.

WSeelentag Wonderful, now we have a confirmation of the birth, marriage and death of Kaspar Jenta. Thanks for the help with the location of the marriage. Excellent work. I am thrilled to have these precious documents along with your translation and thoughts!!!! The translation brings these people alive.
Regarding where Kaspar was born: Medikon:
The Jenta family first lived in Untermedikon on the west of the river. Untermedikon and Robank are part of Wetzikon in the West of a little river called Aa-Bach. This area early attracted industrial activities along this river. So it is easy to imagine the first Jenta's coming there to tan cowhides into leather. The couple had two children Kaspar, Susanna's grandfather, in 1741 and Anna 1748. In Germany the name is also spelled as Jentha. Susanna was definitely of German heritage.(Peter Bertschinger)
