Marriage records sometimes give the date of engagement and the three dates on which the marriage intentions were announced. These announcements, called banns, gave the opportunity for anyone to come forward who knew of any reason why the couple should not be married. Couples were generally married in the bride's home parish. Typically, the bride and groom were in their twenties when they married. See article: [[Denmark: Engagement / Marriage Records|Denmark: Engagement and Marriage Records]] for additional information.
