WR = Wohnrecht = jurisdiction. I think this means the banns & wedding were under the auspices of the Beschotenweg Reformed Church. It would make sense that the banns would be read in the home church of both the bride & groom. Since thedate of the wedding is not given, we might find it in the Beschotenweg church records.
Their wedding date 1 Nov is 7 days after the last banns were read.
Procl. means proclimation, in other words, banns.
