Interpretation of Danish Marriage Record

Hello.

I need some help with the last entry of the right page. Particularly, what is the word after Fuglsang? Is it saying she is working there for Lars Madsen, or is he another witness? In the first column for the bride's home, it says she's from Vang/Vange, so I'm trying to figure out how the other location factors in.

Thanks!

    The word after Fuglsang is "tienende" meaning working or serving. Your guess that she is working for Lars Madsen in Vange is correct.

    Enkm. Christen Pders. Höÿst. Mose og Pige Karen Andersdr.
    Fuglsang, tienende Lars Madsen i Vange
    Caut. 1. Anders Niels. i Vange 2. Rasmus Madsen af Schievled Skieve Sogn

    widower Christen Pedersen Höystrup Mose and maiden Karen Andersdatter
    Fuglsang, serving Lars Madsen in Vange
    Bondsmen 1. Anders Nielsen in Vange 2. Rasmus Madsen of Schievled Skieve Parish

    Thank you so much, @Forrest Emmett! I really appreciate your help and transcription.

    So just to be sure, the column that says the bride's home is Vang vs the recorded location in the record, Fuglsang—should I take one or the other to mean a more permanent home—like where her family lived? I've been wondering about the connection, if any, to the witness Anders Nielsen. However, if the 'bride's home' is just a temporary, working residence, I may have to rethink that theory.

    Again, thank you so much for your help!
