7 May 1857 Hans Westphal and Sophia Sämann marriage - finally
I'm not sure why it took so long, but Hans Westphal and Sophia Sämann finally marry in 1857. (I posted their two sons births (1850 and 1855) earlier tonight.)
I would very much appreciate corrections. I had the most difficulty with the entry in the Proclamation/Dispensation column. Some of the words don't make sense to me.
Second entry on right side.
No. 7
Proclamations/Dispensations column: Dispensirt vom Kirchlichen Aufgebot durch? den? hosen? Oberkirchenrath d.d. Schwerin 25tn Apr. 1857
Groom: Hans Dietrich Friedrich Westphal knecht in Niendorf, geboren 26tn Dec 1826
Bride: S.C.? Sophia Magdalena Friederike Sämann in Niendorf, geboren 16tn Feb 1836
Entry below groom and bride: Wanderten nach Amerika aus
Father of Groom: Hans Heinrich Westphal, Maurer gesell zu Redewisch
Father of Bride: Johann Joachim Friedrich Sämann Tagelöhner zu Niendorf

Hello Greg,
your transcription is almost perfect. The remark in the proclamation/dispensation column is:
Dispensirt vom Kirchlichen Aufgebot durch den hohen Oberkirchenrath
(dispensed from banns of marriage by the High Superior Church Councillor)
I don't know what the abbreviation s.c. (or c.c.) in the bride's column means. It may be Latin: sine c. and cum c. (without/with c.) , but I am unable to decode the second letter.

FYI:
s. c. = sine clausula = without restriction
c. c. = cum clausula = with restriction

Thank you, @Robert Seal_1 !
Do you know what "restriction" means in this context of a marriage record?

Unfortunately I don't, Ulrich.
My source for these abbreviations is: Ernest Thode, German-English Genealogical Dictionary. The definitions are taken verbatim from Thode.
The Latin "clausula" also translates as: closure, conclusion, ending.

Thank you Ulrich and Robert! I appreciate your help very much.

You're welcome @JohnsonGreg.

Another idea: Could s.c. / c.c. mean sine corona / cum corona ? This has nothing to do with the pandemic 😉, but refers to bridal wreath (Latin: corona) that was only allowed for virgin brides. Before marriage the bride had to confess before the pastor if she/they had had premarital intercourse. In that case the marriage ceremony was done "sine corona".

I like this train of thought, Ulrich, it makes better sense given the context.
