Some of that is just the Church stuff they have to put in there. After the date I do see part of a priest's name and I can see the Glz Almeida (Goncalves Almeida). The 4th line is "recebido infalcia iglessia" (or however it's spelled back then). The key words for a marriage. Received in the eyes of the church (received meaning married). After Bartolomeu de Sousa is "ja" with the defuncto. Ja defuncto is the phrase. It always comes together. Yeah, it doesn't look like a "ja." I think the literal translation is "already died" or "already dead." After Catarina do Porto, it might say something about Sao do Gloria or Santo Gloria of Santo Amaro. That doesn't make sense (the vowels on the modifier need to agree, so it should be Santa Gloria). Either way, I think it's the neighborhood of Santo Amaro where the groom lived. After the bride's mom, you can see his "ja defuncto" again. It looks like "ia." Then com testimonios presentes (with witnesses present), Francisco Pereira de Faria, Joao Furtado, o Captain Alfonso de Something, Manuel do Porto (hmmm, uncle or brother of the groom, I'd say), then lots of scribble scrabble. The last words are "dia, mes, e anno, ut supra" so he's saying something like "so it was on the day, month, and year." "Era ut Supra" (he dropped of the "era") is Latin for "It was as above" or something along those lines. That phrase is in many church documents. Maybe someone else can get the rest.
