Declaration of faith and marital status?

Hi guys,

I have a quite unusual request this time. My aunt asked me to write a declaration of faith and marital status of her son who lives in Scotland and is going to get married. Have you ever had to write anything similar? Emotion: smile Please, help me with the word choice and structure, as I have never written a declaration of any kind in English and I don't know what the established expressions for this purpose are.

Although I did have a shot at it, I don't know if it's any good.

Declaration of Faith and Marital Status

I, ______________, (hereby) solemnly declare that, as of the date of this Declaration, my son, ______________, does not have a spouse and is of Catholic faith.

1) does not have a spouse or [remains/is] [single/unmarried] ?
2) hereby - in or out?
3) is of Catholic faith or is a Catholic

3) any other suggestions, please?

This is quite urgent so I'd appreciate a quick reply.

Thank you guys for such quick answers! You're amazing!

It's just turned out that the declaration must come from both parents so I'll have to rewrite it a little bit. Could you have another look at it, please? Which one is better? The one with two I's or with we?

Declaration of Faith and Marital Status

Hi,

I prefer the 'we'.
