Difficult expression in 1812 marriage record
I would appreciate help with the expression in this 1812 marriage record for Georg Peter Morel and Catharina Singer. It's not terribly difficult to read, but they don't seem to match the usual words. This refers to first three lines with something like: wurde nach vorherige fertigten burgerlichen Acte ??alsihristlichen??. Guessing it says something like 'were married after previously completed banns', but I don't see the specific word about marriage, and the banns seem to be referred to as an Acte? How do you interpret this phrase?
Thanks!

Hello @Tom Randolph
The passage in question reads : "nach vorhergefertigtem bürgerlichen Acte als christliche Eheleute in der Kirche zu Mühlhofen eingesegnet" meaning "after previous civil act (marriage) [they] were blessed as christian spouses in the church of Mühlhofen"
The background is the following: According to the French Civil Code that was valid in this area after the Napoleonic wars, for a marriage to be valid an act/ceremony before a civil authority (usually the Mayor) was required. The former marriage ceremony in church was replace by a "blessing" after this civil act.
One remark: This website has obvious problems to display images when posting more than one image at a time. I don't know why this can't be solved.

Wow, thanks for the context! That explains why the bürgerlichen is in there, too. Thanks! And sorry, didn't see the images didn't stick.
