My fiance is Latino, and we will be getting married next summer. My question: The majority of his family speaks only Spanish, and I would like to incorporate both languages into the ceremony. Any ideas on how best to create a ceremony that utilizes both Spanish and English?

My sister is Latina and her Fiance is American and she got a priest that spoke both languages and translated every sentence during the ceremony. Find someone that will translate and don't worry it will turn out great plus its your day not theirs.

Try to make sure whoever is presiding over the ceremony will be willing to translate into both languages. Spanish is beautiful, and I'm sure it will only add to elegance of the vows. If you have any friends or family who know Spanish, make sure they are spread out among the tables during the reception to help translate toasts and announcements.

We had a bilingual wedding - but in Ukrainian and English. For the ceremony, it was all in Ukrainian, but there were booklets with the full ceremony in both English and Ukrainian. Talk to your priest; maybe he has done it before.
The other alternative is to do varying parts in each language.

I attended a bilingual wedding ceremony a pair of years in the past and that i presumed it exchange into particularly properly completed. The officiant greeted the congregation in English then in Spanish. a large variety of the ceremony exchange into in English however the substantial readings have been in the two languages. The final notes have been additionally in the two languages. purely a theory...
