Question
Can you please translate this phrase into latin: To have and to hold. As in the wedding vows.

Thanks

Answer
Hello,

Thanks for clarifying your thought.
Well, in the light of what you said, the phrase “To have and to hold”  translates into Latin as follows:

“Habere et servare”

Best wishes,
Maria
