Hello Colin.

In addition to Ralph's transcription and translation:

Christopher, fød 28 Dec: 93
Den 9 Februarii Lode Morten Snedker og Hustrue Mette Niels-
Datter af Fræer Deres Søns Daab publicere - Faddere vare
Hans Mortensen og Broder Søren, samt Peder Jensen af
Fræer Nordre Mark, item Marie Christensdatter tienende
paa Tuustrup - Madame Ahrns Bar Barnet.

February 9, Morten Snedker (Carpenter) and his wife Mette Nielsdatter of Freer let their son's baptism be formalized in church.  Witnesses were Hans and Søren Mortensen, with Peder Jensen of Fræer North Fields, ditto Marie Christensdatter in service (working) at Tustrup.  Madam Ahrns presented the child at the font.

(Tustrup Manor in Fræer parish)

Probably this family:

From 1801 census for Aalborg, Hellum, Fræer:

Morten Christensen, 40, married, farmer/smallholder and carpenter, in 1. marriage
Mette Nielsdatter, 41, married, his wife, in 1. marriage
Christiane Mortensdatter, 11, their child
Niels Mortensen, 9, their child
Christopher Mortensen, 7, their child
Christen Mortensen, 4, their child

Could this be Morten & Mette's Wedding/Engagement?

Mette Nielsdr af Oppelstrup. ???????s David-
sen paa Lindenborg og Christen Sorensen af Vårst.

FYI, Christiane Mortensdatter appears to have been born in Gunderup. (Opslag 130) That's why I'm looking in Gunderup for their wedding.

Hello Colin.

Yes, I think it is their engagement (trolovelse) Mar 11, 1787, opslag 310:

d. 11 Mart. trolovede Morten Snedker af Haals og
Mette Nielsdatter af Oppelstrup. Forloverne (groomsmen) David-
sen paa Lindenborg og Christen Sørensen af Vårst.

On opslag 311 is the wedding (vielse):
d. 29 April viede Morten Snedker og Mette
Nielsdtr. i Oppelstrup

Vied Morten Snedker og Mette
Nielsdatter i Oppelstrup

They are also in the 1787 census:
