Translation (French)

LindseySeverson

Could anyone translate this marriage record for me? I'm afraid my high school French is only up to reading the numbers and enough random words to suspect that one or more of the parents are deceased. The one on the right, Mathias Barnich and Marguerite Bach. Thanks in advance!

You correctly spotted that some of the parents are deceased, in fact only one of the four was still a live.

Below is a partial transcript with some translations / comments between parentheses.
