Translation (English)

Groom: August Friedrich Christian Brand (born 17 February 1843 at Bodenwerder), unmarried, innkeeper (Krüger) and distiller (Weinbrenner) at Bodenwerder, son of the distiller[?] Johann Heinrich Christian Brand and his later wife Caroline Friederike Leopoldine[?] Charlotte née Lode[?]. Bride: Wilhelmine Friederike Louise Dorette Krüger (born 24 February 1848 at [Grohnde?]), unmarried, of Kemnade, daughter of the late [?] Wilhelm Krüger and his later married[?] wife Friederike née Krüger.

Notes
"Sohn" and "Tochter," not "ehelicher Sohn" and "eheliche Tochter," and "nachmaligen Ehefrau" (the wife he married later) for both mothers: probably both were born before their parents married. Readings to check: the father's trade, the mother's third forename and surname (Lode, Lohe or Lodi), the bride's birthplace and her father's description.
Not linked to the Linse Brands. The groom's father, Johann Heinrich Christian Brand of Bodenwerder, has forenames close to the Linse Halbmeier Heinrich Christian Brand (George's grandfather), and a son of the Halbmeier born after 1804 would fit a father of a child born in 1843. Untested; The godmother "Minna Brand of Bodenwerder" at the 1875 Kemnade baptism (Bild 30) may belong to this family.
The marriage is on the same page as 1869 no. 2 (Waßmann × Lüer).
Grade: Stated (event). Link to the Linse Brand family: unproven. Appendix C unless B1 links it.
