Since it is a catholic wedding, the parish you are getting married at should give you a ceremony planning booklet. The booklet lists the different readings you can pick from, as well as the vows and exchange of rings.
In addition to the 1st reading and 2nd reading, there is also a Gospel reading which is done by the priest, then prayers of the failthful which is done by someone you choose. It would probably be best to do the prayers of the faithful half in english and half in spanish since the people need to respond "Lord here our prayer".
All of these can be found in the booklet.
If the booklet is only in english I am sure you can translate it into spanish, or find a spanish bible and look up thechapter and verse and copy it from there.
Good luck!

I would assume a Catholic Mass would translate the same into Spanish as it does in English.
I'm assuming you would use the same readings, just translated as you would in an English language Mass. The Bible and Catholic readings are the same regardless of what language they are spoken in.

It depends upon what is used in that particular church, and you may have a choice to make. Your priest will be able to loan you a booklet.
