In these days it was common that the marriage-ceremony was celebrated in the town where the husband lived. With some exceptions, which are amongst others: If the couple was poor or if the bride was pregnant at the time of the marriage.
In said cases, the marriage-ceremony was celebrated for instance in Einsiedeln (SZ). The ceremony then normally was celebrated whithout further guests: Only the couple, the clergyman and the witnesses to the marriage, who were called up by the church where the ceremony was celebrated, had been there.
In the case of our couple Johann Meinrad and Maria Anna Elisabeth, the bride was pregnant in the 6th month, thus they went to Einsiedeln for the marriage.

Das Paar wurde durch Pfarrer Marian Herzog getraut.
In jenen Tagen war es üblich, dass die Hochzeit am Wohnort des Bräutigams stattfand. Mit Ausnahmen, welche unter anderem sind: Wenn das Paar arm war oder wenn die Braut zum Zeitpunkt der Vermählung schwanger war. In solchen Fällen reiste das Brautpaar für die Trauung beispielsweise nach Einsiedeln (SZ). Die Zeremonie fand dann in der Regel ohne weitere Gäste statt: Nur das Brautpaar, der Pfarrer und die Trauzeugen - die jeweils von der Kirche bestellt worden sind - waren anwesend.
Im vorliegenden Fall war Maria Anna Elisabeth bereits im 6ten Monat schwanger. Deshalb reisten sie nach Einsiedeln um sich dort trauen zu lassen.
