Post by: Naizam on Sunday 18 October 20 22:49 BST (UK)

Here's the transcription - but I can't for the life of me figure out the two words in underline:

John Graham, Weaver in the Parish of Dunning and Agnes Hepburn youngest daughter of Robert Hepburn Weaver, _____ ____, in this Parish Gave in their names for Proclamation in order to Marriage. They were proclaimed before the congregation the two following Sabbaths and Married on the 20th day of January at Perth by the Rev. Mr. Finlay
