Hi everyone, this one looks to me like a marriage record between Par Knutsson and Anna Olafsdotter but I'm not 100% sure - the "A" in "Anna" looks unusual. It would be nice to know what the rest of the record says too!
In case you want to look at other nearby records on arkiv digital, this is from Ossjo, Kristianstad, Sweden. Link is here:

It is not the actual marriage record but a record of the banns posting.
It reads: the 7th posted banns for Bachelor (or farmhand) Pär Knutsson and Maid Anna Olufsdatter in Össiö, Sponsors for them both Hans Hans(son), Pär Anders(son) and Nils Pärs(son) in Össiö and ? Andersson in Ebbarp.
Here is a link to a pdf of Swedish Alphabet Samples: https://swedishgenealogyguide.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/Swedish-Gothic-Alphabet-Samples.pdf . Since the other Scandinavian languages also used Gothic Script to keep the early records, this works for Finnish, Danish and Norwegian records as well.
