Some alternative suggestions/additions:
The calling of the groom and the second witness is better translated as "merchant".

The first witness, Y. Kaplan was a clerk.

The bride's maiden name can be Korin or Kurin as well - there is no vowelization on the document, so you can't really tell.

The bride's father was a carpenter.

There is no "calling" listed for either of the mothers.

The groom's calling "a facility (establishment) for cleaning" (two words) a term no longer in use today. I suggest he was working at a professional laundry cleaning business.
The word for that today is rather modern word, and it's possible the people who filled the document in 1931 did not know it.
That said, its also possible that he worked in a sewage treatment plant and word "sewage" was dropped (it's the last word in the multiword term in Hebrew). You would have to research the historical context for that - I have no idea whether sewage treatment even existed in those day.
