Notary requires a Translator for our wedding - Anyone volunteer? (free food!)

Our notary just informed us, that for our wedding on June 16th in Palmira, I will need to have a translator present. (I didn't think my spanish was that bad!). In any case, if anyone from the group who is fluent in English/Spanish would like to participate in the wedding I would certainly appreciate the help. The wedding is June 16, 2006 in Palmira (20 min outside of Cali). You get free food and alcohol! No kissing the bride though...sorry guys.

WTF? She expects you to understand what she's saying? Are you going to enjoy the Colombian custom where one of the single guys takes off the bride's garter with his teeth? What the hell? I thought the guy was going to give her a blow job.

That's The First Time.. I have ever heard of that! But what the notary says goes.

"SIC FRIATUR CRUSTUM DULCE. OBESA CANTAVIT."

"Credidi pretio parvo emere et magno vendere tibi in animo fuisse!" .

Does the translator get to take off the bride's garter with his teeth?

Hell I didn't have a clue... What the notairia was saying. She was very pissed and made about a fifteen minute speech somewhat along the lines of respecting public servants or something like that. In addition I decided to wear contacts for the first time and could not see where to sign.

I can read spanish fairly well and found numerous mistakes in her paperwork. Also her office made a mistake about our wedding date I was VERY insistant that she honor our time schedule. I suppose I was lucky she did the job.

Get a different notaria.
