Help with translation of marriage record
I have finally found the marriage record for my great-great grandparents, after a five year search. It seems extremely long. Any help you can provide in translation would be greatly appreciated. I purchased a book on reading German handwriting, but this is far beyond my capabilities.
Thanks so much.

Here comes a translation summary of the record. The second page is clipped on the right margin, so not all information can be extracted.

Hello Kathy,
the images seem not to load. Please try once more, loading the image one by one, i.e., only one image per post.

@ulrichneitzel - Thanks for flagging this. The documents are now available. Oddly, it isn't because I re-loaded them. It just seems to have fixed the problem by itself in the last few hours. Thanks again. Kathy Hornbach

Thank you so much for the translation - it is so full of new information for me! Beyond the wedding information, I learned that Joseph has been married before, who his parents were, what their birthdates were, and who Margaretha's parents were. Thanks so much for taking the time to help out!
With much appreciation, Kathy Hornbach
