Spanish Wedding Vows
Here are three popular options of wedding vows in Spanish, with English translation:
- The first option is spoken from the groom to the bride, and then from the bride to the groom.
- The second option is the same pattern, but a variation of the text.
- The third option is where the minister speaks the text, followed by the groom/bride saying 'I do'.
- Then of course there is the further option, where you compose your own vows for the ceremony.
