Hello @NicoleTresnak,
Translation:
Number 5.
Adam Bauer, A. C., day laborer and widower at Reichelsdorf, with his sister-in-law Barbara Meier, A. C., from Weiherhaus, surviving fifth and youngest daughter of the late Georg Meier, former day laborer at Weiherhaus, unmarried status, upon receiving a marriage license from the Schwabach royal district court on the 14th of April 1855, after three previous marriage proclamations here on Quasimodogeniti Sunday [April 15], Misericordias Sunday [April 22], and Jubilate Sunday [April 29] 1855 without objection, were quietly married "in the wreath" in the local church on Sunday, 29 April 1855, in the afternoon at 1:00 pm.
Right margin:
Entry? no. 7. Reichelsdorf.
Adam Bauer, A. C., widower, 37 years old, [and] Barbara Meier, A. C., unmarried, 25 and 1/2 years old, were quietly married.
Witnesses: (1) Georg Zeltner, journeyman mason and house owner at Reichelsdorf; (2) Georg Michael Messthaler, estate tenant at Reichelsdorf; and (3) schoolteacher Rabenstein here as sexton.
Comment: I assume "in the wreath" is some type of German marriage custom.

@NicoleTresnak and @Robert Seal_1 'Im Kranze' means that the bride was (or was thought to be ) a virgin at the time of the marriage.

Hello @StH31,
Thank you very much for providing this information about "im Kranze". What would be the best way to translate this in the given record?
Thanks, Robert Seal_1

You'll find many expressions in this context on https://www.geneal-forum.com/phpbb/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?t=19896 - it's in German, however. Whilst many examples are taken from Swiss sources, a lot of it also will apply to German records.

This is very interesting; thank you for sharing @WSeelentag. So on the record above how would you translate "im Kranze"? Was the bride was wearing the wreath?

Brautkranz would be bridal wreath. The bride would be at least allowed to wear it - and most likely did. The entry in the church record will be less a description of the bride's outfit, however, more the statement that she was (supposed to be) a virgin.
