Wedding Blessing From The Irish

    May the wind be always at your back.
    May the sun shine warm upon your face,
    The rains fall soft upon the fields.



  2. May the light of friendship guide your paths together.
    May the laughter of children grace the halls of your home.
    May the joy of living for one another
    trip a smile from your lips,
    A twinkle from your eye.

    Everlasting, steady, side by side.
    May laughter ring and sorrows flee,
    With hearts as light as the Irish sea.

    at the end of a life heaped high with love,
    May the good Lord embrace you
    with the arms that have nurtured you
    the whole length of your joy-filled days.
    May the gracious God hold you both
    in the palm of His hands.
