Need translation of my ancestor's record

Could someone help me translate the information of my ancestor's marriage record? It is the record of Peter Gerber and Margaretha Schoenauer, which is found in the right column of this record, about one third of the way down the page. Thanks!

But, the record cannot be viewed from home on a public/non-LDS account.

Steven, Your link doesn't work. In the future it is good to give the FS film number and the page number so others can look it up. Thanks to Áine I found the record and posted here for someone, smarter than I am, to translate:

Steven, in Switzerland it is unfortunately not possible to view FS documents from home. However, some cantons have put their church records online. Therefore, if the place, surname, year and event (baptism, marriage, death) are known, the relevant document can usually be found without any problems. It would therefore be helpful if this data is already given in the title of the article.

Thanks to Kent's link, I can still answer your request:

'On Thursday, October 14 (1745) were married
…

[eodem] on the same day

Peter Gerber from Schangnau
Margreth Schonauwer from Gross,höchstedten (=Grosshöchstetten) '

Let me add a few general comments - just might be helpful for future requests:

1. Certain Links get messed up if you are not careful. See How to post links correctly how to avoid this.

2. I had suggested a structure for posting titles some tome ago - see What title would be best for postings?. There will always exceptions - but if you check postings over the last time, you'll see what I mean. This makes it much easier to find previous posts if related to a later request.

3. Kent Gardiner is right: Film and page numbers are helpful for people with access. If you give more info on the source in question (see also posting title), it will also be much easier to help you in case of problems.

4. This is especially useful with records in canton Bern: whilst these records on familysearch may only be viewable at familysearch centres, they are freely viewable from the Bern State Archive: older scans with inferior image quality, but often sufficient for reading.

5. Whilst the marriage took place in Röthenbach, Peter Gerber was a citizen of Schangnau. If you want to discuss your questions with other researchers interested in this family - there is already a discussion topic Gerber von Schangnau BE on Geneal-Forum: the forum is tri-lingual (German, French, English) - so asking questions in English is fine! In order to post you have to log in, of course - but registration is free and without obligation. Just have a look first - just reading is free (no login required).
