Reading Aid 1774 marriage

[JLFrank]

Please help with reading this marriage record. Particularly confused on the why it seems to say 38 years. Seems very old for a bride. Thank you.

Thank you so much. I missed most of the info about Michael. Interesting how they said east Prussia.
If you could clarify:
1 what does E:[rbaren] mean in English?
2. so Michael is 38 yrs old and NOT Maria?

Thanks again Joan

1 what does E:[rbaren] mean in English?

probably in the sense of 'ehrenwert': honorable

2. so Michael is 38 yrs old and NOT Maria?

No, that probably refers to Maria.
