Here's a try based on what I can read from the marriage doc.

In the year 18 hundred forty ?, on the ? day of July at the hour of fifteen (3 PM) before me ? ? the mayor and official of the vital records office in the town of Decollatura in the district of Nicastro appeared Giuseppe Cerra Maggiore (not sure what the Maggiore signifies), 23 years old, born in Decollatura, of the profession laborer, living in ?, son of the deceased (fu) Domenico and of Teresa Cerra living in ?, and appeared Cecilia Molinaro Maggiore, 22 years old, born in Decollatura, of the profession ?, daughter of Antonio of the profession ?, living in Decollatura and the deceased Agata ? ?.

Hopefullly someone else can read what I couldn't.
