[Gjest Leif Biberg Kristensen]

«U.K.» is an abbreviation for ungkarl, or bachelor. The two last columns are who has requested the announcement, in this case the bridegroom, and whether they have been vaccinated for the smallpox. In this case both of them have had natural poxes.

[Gjest Ola Ljødal]

He is a 'mate'.

[Gjest Leif Biberg Kristensen]

Yes, I overlooked the word «Styrmand» that means second in command to the captain. It doesn't say if he's in the navy or in the merchant fleet, however.

[Gjest Per Holte Rosenkilde]

A second in command on a military vessel would have a military degree in 1839. I am pretty sure he must have been in the merchant fleet.
