French term or phrase: Consentez-vous à prendre pour épouse Mademoiselle X ici présente ?
Hi everyone,

A member of my family will get married soon with an Austrian girl and the mayor asked me to translate the civil wedding sentences into German. I don't want to make any mistake even if it is not really "official" to do it in German.

So can anyone help me with this ?
Can I say something like "Wollen Sie Fraulein X heiraten ?"

THANK YOU VERY MUCH !

... zu Ihrer rechtmäßigen Ehefrau nehmen?
Drop "Mademoiselle" - it's not used in German, just the full name of the person in question.
