Bride and Groom's Request


Explanation:
I found two or three uses of "memorial dos contraentes" online, but no explanation. They were all used in samples of power of attorney, so there's no way of inferring the exact meaning. I never heard it myself.

Dicio defines "memorial" as:

1) Exposição escrita, dirigida a autoridade pública, na qual se pleiteia alguma coisa.
2) Memória ou nota para a instrução de uma questão diplomática.
3) Livro de escrituração comercial; borrador.
4) Obra literária na qual o autor (ou um dos personagens) evoca fatos a que tenha assistido ...

It seems like we can drop the last three. The first definition is probably the one, but it's also vague. I would just use "request" or "request form" to be on the safe side.

Special/limited power of attorney


Explanation:
http://www.investopedia.com/terms/s/special-power-attorney.a...

A special power of attorney, also called a limited power of attorney, grants an agent (also called an attorney-in-fact) the authority to act on behalf of the principal (the person granting this authority) under certain, specified circumstances.

This may be uniquely Brazilian. There is no such thing in most common law countries, i.e. a specific power of attorney to get the marriage license paperwork.

neutral  Oliver Simões: I never heard the terminology. It seems to be in reference to a specific document that the attorney can sign.
