This record of my x-gg's brother shows a wedding date recorded from the church calendar.
What does this mean? (I read the header as "Fer. II Pascs." -- is that perchance Easter Monday?)

I read the date as "Fer. II. Pasch.", that is the 2nd feastday of Easter -- your interpretation of the Monday following Easter Sunday is valid.
Fer. = ferias (holiday)
Pasch. = Pascha (Easter)
For the numbering, compare the "12 Days of Christmas", which counts Christmas (25 Dec.) as #1 and Epiphany (6 Jan.) as #12.

Of course, as we found out in my other question, this date is for the reading of the banns. Unfortunately the actual date of the wedding was never recorded. Feb 10, 2018 at 17:37

So the "cop. d. " in the right margin is the whole note and not cropped? Could the smudged ink to the right of Pasch. be a date?– bgwiehleFeb 10, 2018 at 19:21
