The ceremony was in the ancient Toledan ritual, not the form ordinarily used in Spain. The Archbishop pf Toledo read a catechism of Pope Benedict XIV., rehearsing the duties of marriage, and asked the bride and bridegroom if there was any impediment to their union. The Archbishop addressed the bride in French and the King of Spanish. The bride and bridegroom then knelt and exchanged rings, and the King handed the Princess thirteen pieces of gold, saying, "I give you this in pledge of matrimony." The Archbishop then joined their hands and blessed them. The musical service followed, and the King and Queen proceeded to the Throne, before which were two priedieu, at which they Knelt, surrounded by the officiating prelates. The prayer at the throne concluded the ceremony.
