Spanish Wedding Vows
The vast majority of Christians in Spain are Catholic and here are five popular versions of wedding vows in Spanish and based on the English liturgy.
If you choose version 4 or version 5, and are not confident about remembering the words during the ceremony, your priest may suggest you read them from a card, or that you repeat each word after the priest
Make sure your priest is willing to use your choice.
