Irish Wedding Blessings
'May the Road Rise Up to Meet You' is one of the most common marriage blessings. Early Irish Christianity is often linked to the practice of Irish blessings. Celtic Christians' founding fathers are said to have inspired a number of well-known Gaelic prayers. In the case of St. Patrick, the fifth century missionary who is credited with starting the church in Ireland, the phrase "I arise today" is generally attributed to him. For this reason, most Irish blessings are rooted in the Gaelic language, which gives them a unique and lovely flavour.
English Text
"May the road rise to meet you. May the wind be always at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face, the rain fall soft upon your fields. And until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of his hand."
Gaelic Text
Go n-éirí an bóthar leat. Go raibh cóir na gaoithe i gcónaí leat. Go dtaitní an ghrian go bog bláth ar do chlár éadain, go dtite an bháisteach go bog mín ar do ghoirt. Agus go gcasfar le chéile sinn arís, go gcoinní Dia i mbois a láimhe thú.
