Irish Wedding Blessing - Long Version

​Irish Wedding Blessing

May God go with you and bless you, 
May you see your children's children, 
May you be poor in misfortune and rich in blessings, 
May you know nothing but happiness from this day forward. 

May joy and peace surround you both, 
Contentment latch your door, 
And happiness be with you now And God Bless you Evermore. 
May you live you life with trust, And nurture lifelong affection, 
May your lifelong dreams come true for you, Move ever that direction. 

May the road rise to meet you, 
May the wind be always at your back, 
May the sun shine warm upon your face, 
The rains fall soft upon your fields. 
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 each 
other trip a smile from your lips, a twinkle from your eye. 
And when eternity beckons, 
at the end of the 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. 
And, today, may the Spirit of Love 
find a dwelling place in your hearts.
