The parents of the groom and the mother of the bride by this present, have declared their consent to this marriage.
Their birth certificates:
The death certificate of the last husband of the bride:
Proof of having fulfilled the national service (armed forces) by the groom:
The proof of the proclamation done in Nieuwerkerk aan den Ijssel:
Because no protests have been made against this matrimony are told to us, and the proclamations in Nieuwerkerk aan den Ijssel and here on Sundays, the 24th and 31st of August have elapsed without opposition
Therefore we have asked the groom and bride in public, if they will accept each other as a married couple, and if they will faithfully fulfil all obligations, which are bound by law to the matrimonial state, on which they responded consenting. So have we declared in the name of the law that
Willem Kapteijn en Adriana Verbree
