Hi @Martha Murray. Merry Christmas to you too! I see you posted this question yesterday; it often takes a few hours to a few days to receive a response. That said, I don't see a marriage of Wenzel Prochazka & Anne Fridrich in this image, but I found the marriage listed as the 5th on the right on the previous image: https://www.mza.cz/actapublica/matrika/detail/5381?image=216000010-000253-003372-000000-006008-000000-00-B06212-00030.jp2
The record states:
1787, January 23, the same [marriage officiator as previous; that is, administrator Christian Hospodarz, listed in the first entry on the page; on image 6, he's listed as pastor].
House 44
Groom: Wenzl Prochaska, son of Jakob ([farmer with] 1/4 [farm] from Wrazov [Vracov]), Catholic, age 23 [sic; I didn't find him in the birth records 23 years earlier, but I did find him 21 years before, in March 1765], unmarried
Bride: Anna Früdrichin [Früdrich], daughter of Johann (farmer with 1/8 farm), Catholic, age 19 [the closest match I found was an Anna, daughter of Georg Fridrich born in January 1767; perhaps her father is actually Johann Georg Fridrich], unmarried
Marriage witnesses: Franz Früdrich and Lorenz Nowotny, both farmers/gardeners in Wrazow [Vracov]

Hi Charlotte
I saw 31 views and no responses and jump the gun. Lesson learned. I had the wrong record... oops. I'm glad you caught that.
The insights are much appreciated. They save me some frustration. In German everyone is a Johann.
Czech are an engima to me. By Czech standards she is a minor. Yet no mentoion of permission granted.
Thank you

You're welcome, Martha! I can definitely understand why after 31 views and no response, you figured this one was just not manageable. I had actually translated the fourth record on the right-hand page first, because the couple did have the correct given names, and I only later thought to check the pages before and after to see whether the link had just been off a little. I'm glad I looked, too!
It's interesting that the ages are both a little off, since Wenzl was apparently only 21 (not 23) and Anna was apparently just barely 20 (not still 19). In Germany, the age until someone was no longer a minor changed depending on the time period and the parish; I once came across a parish, perhaps in Alsace-Lorraine, where some people were listed as of major age and others of the same age or older were listed as minors! It was certainly interesting. If it's anything like that in Czechia, perhaps at this time in this parish Anna was not a minor.
