"May the road rise up to meet ye,
May the sun be always at yer back,
May the sun shine warm upon yer face,
An' the rain fall soft upon yer fields.
And until we meet again,
May Dagda hold ye on the hallow of his hand."
"Wishing ye always walls for the wind,
A roof for the rain,
Tea beside the fire,
And the love and laughter of those ye hold dear."
"May yer thoughts be as glad as shamrocks,
May yer heart be as light as a song,
May each day bring ye bright happy hours,
That stay with ye all the year long."
"May there always be work for yer hands te do,
May yer purse always hold a coin or two.
May the sun always shine on yer windowpane,
May a rainbow be certain to follow each rain.
May the hand of a friend always be near ye,
May the gods fill yer heart with gladness to cheer ye.
"May ye live as long as ye want,
And ne'er want as long as ye live."
"May yer troubles be less,
And yer blessings be more,
And nothing but happiness
Come through yer door."
"May the roof above us never fall in. And may the friends gathered below it never fall out."
"New born babe, bring light to the cottage,
warmth to the hearth, and joy to the soul,
for wealth is family -- family is wealth."
"May the gods be with ye and bless ye,
May ye see yer children's children,
May ye be poor in misfortunes and rich in happiness;
May ye know nothing but happiness from this day forward."
~Celtic Wedding blessing
"May your joys be as deep as the ocean,
and your troubles as light as its foam."
May the best of their past be the worst of their future
"Here's to marriage, that happy estate that resembles a pair
of scissors: 'So joined that they cannot be separated,
often moving in opposite directions, yetpunishing anyone
who comes between them.'"
"May thy life be long and happy,
Thy cares and sorrows few;
And the many friends around thee
Prove faithful, fond and true."
"A thing of beauty is a joy forever.
Here's to you, my beautiful bride."
John Keats
"Never above you. Never below you. Always beside you."
"Here's to the woman that's good and sweet,
Here's to the woman that's true,
Here's to the woman that rules my heart,
In other words, here's to you."
Were't the last drop in the well,
An I gasp'd upon the brink,
Ere my fainting spirit fell,
'Tis to thee that I would drink.
"Here's to the prettiest, here's to the wittiest,
Here's to the truest of all who are true,
Here's to the neatest one, here's to the sweetest one,
Here's to them, all in one - here's to you."
"May these rich blessings be your due...
A wealth of friendships, old and new,
quiet nights and busy days, time for prayer and time for praise,
some service rendered, some solace given,
and gentle peace with God and heaven."
"Drink to me only with thine eyes,
And I will pledge with mine;
Or leave a kiss within the cup,
And I'll not look for wine.
