Irish Wedding Blessing

It’s a little late for St. Patty’s Day, but I love this blessing and had to post it.

An Irish Wedding Blessing

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 the 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 one another trip a smile
from your lips,
A twinkle from your eye.

And when eternity beckons,
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.

And, today, may the Spirit of Love
find a dwelling place in your hearts.

Amen.

People have been asking what to put on their wedding and party favors and placecards as a thank you to the guests for sharing their special day with them. I have started a collection of wedding favor quotes, rhymes and sayings that will continue as a new section on our parent site, www.favorcreative.com.

Here is a little taste of some of the things we have found:

Not only for what you are
But for what I am
When I am with you
