Wedding ceremony translation

denisemc · 03-29-2005

I've searched and read just about every thread about weddings in PDC (certainly no shortage of weddings happening there!) but I do have a question:

What the actual text of the civil marriage ceremony? Are the vows similar to the standard US ceremony? I've googled this, but come up empty. If anyone has a URL where I might find this (either English or Spanish) I'd appreciate it.

huu, I don't think the text would be similar. I haven't been to many weddings but the civil part in Mexico sometimes includes an Epistole wrote by a macho guy Melchor Ocampo, stating the "obligations of the wife to be". I'm almost sure you won't want that one read at your wedding and I'm almost sure too that it won't be offered by the judge to a foreing couple. The rest is just bureocracy.
