Marriage of same couple on same date in 3 locations
Andreas Leuenberger (1729-d, LH2C-RL2) and Anna Barbara Niederhauser (1729-d, KZHS-G8P) were reported to have been married on same date in three different locations (Ursenbach, Walterswil, & Sumiswald). I found all three sources and the FSO transcription was correct. FSO Support agrees that there were were three marriage locations for same couple on same date and suggested that more research is needed to find out how this could have happened. My guess is that the marriage took place in Ursenbach and was posted there beforehand. Then on the data of the marriage, the marriage was also entered in the church books (Taufrodel = Baptism Records) in the nearby Villages of Walterswil and Sumiswald.

See a previous discussion on this topic:
Weddings were announced - including in the home parishes of bride and groom, even if the marriage took actually place somewehre else. In other words: there definitely was only one marriage - and usually it is stated whether it was just an announcement and where the marriage took place.

Thank you. Will check if I can find whether it was just an announcement and where the marriage took place.

You got me confused somewhat - in familysearch I find Andreas Leuenberger, born 1729, LH2C-RL2 (as you stated) with two marriage entries:
KZHS-G8P (as you stated): Anna Barbara Niederhauser, married 30 Mar 1759 in Melchnau - and this entry can be found in the Melchnau marriage register.
K4L1-88Z: Anna Niederhuser, "married" 25 Mar 1759 - no parish stated. 5 days prior to the actual marriage would be quite plausible - but you mention Ursenbach, Walterswil, & Sumiswald as parishes. I didn't find the corresponding entries at first sight, at least not under "home marriages", possibly in an extra section with announcements.
If you want this to be followed up, please give exact references: which book (Bern church records always have a "K number" - like "K Melchnau 17") and which page (page in the book - not on the film which cannot be viewed from home).

Looking at everything, I may have mixed up two similar cases. Sorry. I have check everything. Nevertheless, you provided an answer to my question. Thank you.

29 April 1796 🤔.
Not suprising I didn't find anything in 1759 😉.
I leave it to Daniel57704 to analyse this canton Bern topic.
