Help with Dutch marriage record

I managed to track down the civil marriage record for Walraven van Krimpen and Anna van der Velden.  I think I can make out most of it, but some details are a bit confusing.. 

Anna's age, for one - this clerk insisted on spelling out all numbers rather than writing them as digits, and I can't quite make this one out: looks like "Einentien", which makes no sense.

I'm also not sure about the spelling of Walraven's mother's surname. It  looks to me like "Mixze", but another genealogist has her name as "Miksen"

Also, the "n"s seem to be missing from the end of everyone's name. Walraven is Walrave, van Krimpen is van Krimpe, van der Velden is van der Velde, etc.  Was this some sort of 18th century convention?Walraven van Krimpen marriage cert

Most Rotterdam records are indexed, this one:

The mother's name is spelled different in the christening record, 1797:

He died in Blokzijl,1874: https://www.wiewaswie.nl/personen-zoeken/zoeken/document/a2apersonid/185086725/srcid/18537255/oid/32

The missing "n" is no convention, just the way some people wrote names.

Anna's age is 21, "Een en twin - tig jaar".  It was written across two lines.

Regarding your comment about the ages being written out in words, this is quite normal, I'm yet to see an age or year or date written out in digits.

It's funny that you mention that.  I found one yesterday where the ages were written with digits and it was difficult to figure out what they were.  When the ink starts to fade a scripted number 4 can look a lot like a number 2.

Found the Wedding attachments (huwelijksbijlagen). In one of the documents Anna is 21 years (in digits):

In the Marriage Banns her age is "een en twintig jaren" :
