Esto aparece en un acta de matrimonio venezolana y es la primera vez que lo veo:
"Acto seguido, la Directora del Registro Civil **recibió de los contrayentes de que se toman por marido** y mujer respectivamente, hecho lo cual y dirigiéndose a los dos les dijo: en nombre de la República Bolivariana de Benezuela y por la autoridad que me confiere la ley, los declaro unidos en matrimonio civil."
Entiendo que es una forma muy rebuscada de decir que le preguntó acada uno de ellos si se quería casar y le contestaron que sí. ¿Hay alguna manera de expresarlo en inglés?
Muchas gracias por adelantado

: Strictly better to say "to be" rather than "as", I think. See discussion entry.

I, [your full name], take you, [your partner's full name],
to be my wedded wife [or husband].
Of you can still say "thee" instead of "you" if you prefer. http://www.weddingguideuk.com/articles/legal/englandwales.as...
In the US it probably varies according to the state, but here is an example: "In the solemnization of a marriage no particular form is required except that the parties thereto shall assent or declare in the presence of the clergyperson, county clerk or judicial officer solemnizing the marriage and in the presence of at least two witnesses, that they take each other to be husband and wife" (Oregon Revised Statutes, 2003 edition, 106.150). http://www.weddingdialogues.com/Finding_your_officiant.html
So "take" is the right verb, and "to be husband and wife" is standard.
