English translation
Johann Christoph [Hein] and Catharina Barbara, groom's father Johann Wendel [Hein], bride's father Johann Jacob [?], widower [?]; married 29 April 1755.
Notes
The groom's father reads Hein on the image (the genitive "Heins"). The bride's father's word begins "Ku-" and ends "-ert(s)": Küfer and Kuechers are not confirmed; the word may be a trade (Kuhhirt, cowherd) rather than a surname (POSSIBLE). Grade: STATED for the entry;
