@Ulrich Neitzel and @sylviaelchinger1 - This translation has been helpful, especially the witnesses' relationships to the bride and groom. I am hoping you will take a closer look at the surname of the second witness: is it Jacob NAU or Jacob NEU? Or is it impossible to tell?

I'd go with Neu, simply because it's more common, but it's really hard to tell from this image. Enlarging it only made the image quality worse, so was no help in trying the determine if it's an e or an a. Compare to the a in Jacob and Offenbach, or the e in Georg and Schwager. You'll have to look at other records in this town to be sure one way or the other.
