I'm assuming that since you labeled it Record # 2 you mean the first record which is labeled No 2.  I see your struggle reading these documents.  For one thing, it helps to understand German.  

For No 2, I am reading for the groom Franz Bentgen.  The next word looks like his occupation - it looks something like "luinnewyubuw" - his father has this word too - and my guess would be something to do with linen, maybe weaving it.  His father is Nicolas Bentgen, and his mother Margaretha Groff.  It looks like they lived in a town called Dippa followed by an A or N.

Let me know if it's No 3 you need someone to look at instead.  It's a lot harder to figure out, but father and son have exactly the same name.
