I would like to know what will be the best way to translate this phrase from Puerto Rican Spanish into American English.
This is the translation of a long marriage certificate from Puerto Rico.
will be okay to translate as a sworn declaration of the bride or the groom?
Thanks.

I think that affidavit of the bride and the groom is OK. But not SWORN, because affidavit alone includes that meaning. In a recent marriage certificate from Florida I've translated, it says male and female instead of bride and groom.
Good luck.

Sworn declaraion by the bride and groom
I think I would change the order around and mention the bride first. Hope this helps.

I would say that affidavit is more of an American term. Oh yes, sorry about that, it should read "declaration". Well spotted!

| Thanks Ruth. Is this appropriate for American English? I can tell by your profile that you are British. I think I see a typo in the sentence.It's supposed to be declaration. Thanks. yugoslavia |
