Do you take Ms./Mrs. to be your lawfully wedded wife/husband?


Explanation:
The Spanish syntax is weird for this marriage certificate. May I suggest to use the English marriage vows so you can convey the information? A literal translation does not work here, my friend. This is my proposal.

Asker: As much as I would like to be creative, the translation has to be as literal as possible (USCIS requirements).

........... , will you ask ........... if he/she will be your husband/wife


Explanation:
I think this is the part where Sancho and María give their consent with the above decarations.

Example sentence(s):
  • Firstly they will declare that they know of no legal impediment to their marriage. In other words they will both declare that there is no reason why they should not be joined in marriage.
  • Secondly they must declare their true and mutual consent to the marriage. They do this by accepting each other as partners in marriage to the exclusion of all others. When these declarations are made in the correct manner, this creates a valid, legal marr
