In a (religious) marriage certificate from Spain:
"...el Reverendo D. Tomás Angel Trigo Oubuiña, en virtud del expediente instruido en esta parroquia, habiendo precedido las tres canónicas amonestaciones, examen y aprobación en doctrina cristiana, y cumplidos cuantos requisitos ordena el derecho canónico, previo el "Nihil Obstat" de la curia n° ---, desposó por palabra de presente y dio las bendiciones nupciales a..."
Is this simply the normal way of getting married by orally answering the questions posed by the person officiating in the ceremony?
Thanks

following an exchange of vows
"Since marriage itself was made, in the eyes of the church, by the exchange of vows between two individuals, it was sometimes assumed that a "promise to marry in the future" (palabra de futuro) was equivalent to the marriage vow itself (palabra de presente"
In past centuries, people would often have a wedding ceremony, but then not live together and have their marriage blessed in church until they had raised a dowry, which might be several years later. In this case, however, they became married straight away. There's no exact translation for this, but "following an exchange of vows" is near enough.
