May your mornings bring joy and your evenings bring peace.

And your evenings bring peace.
May your troubles grow few,
As your blessings increase.

May the saddest day of your future,
Be no worse than the happiest day of your past.
May your hands be forever clasped in friendship.
And your hearts joined forever in love.

Your lives are very special,
God has touched you in many ways.
May His blessing rest upon you,
And fill all your coming days.

Come in the evening, or come in the morning;
Come when you�re looked for or come without warning;
A thousand welcomes you�ll find here before you,
And the oftener you come here the more I�ll adore you.
Old Irish Toast
May your glass be ever full.
May the roof over your head be always strong,
And may you be in heaven half an hour
Before the devil knows your dead.
May the sound of happy music,
And the lilt of Irish laughter,
Fill your heart with gladness,
That stays forever.
May you enjoy the four greatest blessings;
Honest work to occupy you.
A hearty appetite to sustain you.
A good woman to love you.
And a wink from the God above.
May you live a long life full of gladness and health, With a pocket full of gold as the least of your wealth.
May the dreams you hold dearest be those which come true, The kindness you spread keep returning to you.
May God be with you and bless you.
May you see your children�s children.
May you be poor in misfortune, rich in blessings.
May you know nothing but happiness,
From this day forward.
May your pockets be heavy,
Your heart be light,
And may good luck pursue you,
Each morning and night.
A thousand welcomes to you with your marriage kerchief,
May you be healthy all your days.
May you be blessed with long life and peace,
May you grow old with goodness, and with riches.

I-rish you a very nice place to live,
I-rish God�s greatest gifts he�ll give.
I-rish you health, and wealth, and more,
I-rish your smiling face were at my door!
Robin C. Burns
The real act of marriage takes place in the heart,
Not in the ballroom or church or Synagogue.
It�s a choice you make - not just on your wedding day,
But over and over again,
And that choice is reflected in the way you treat your husband or wife.
Barbara De Angelis
These are the hands of your best friend, holding yours on your wedding day as you pledge your love and commitment from this day on.
These are the hands that will work alongside yours as together you build your future and share your innermost secrets and dreams.
These are the hands that will love you and cherish you through the years.
They will hold you tight as you struggle through difficult times - comfort you when you are sick, console you when you are grieving.
These are the hands that will give you support as you encourage each other to chase down your dreams.
Together, everything you wish for can be realized.
May you see these hands as healer, protector, shelter, and guide.
May many blessings find their way to you,
May love overflow from your heart,
May your wishes be heard and carried out,
May your union never fail to be strong.
There are many people who I know, you would have wanted here with you today. I am sorry they could not be here with you. However, I do know many people who not only wanted to be here with you, but are and are super excited to celebrate this special occasion!
May the gentle breeze bear witness to this union and carry its message to all lands.
May the sun warm their hearts and its ever-burning fire fuel their desire for each other.
May the sea provide for them from its bounty and comfort their souls with her sounds.
May the earth lend its strength, and reveal its mysteries.
May you will feel no rain, for each of you will be a shelter to the other.
May you feel no cold, for each of you will be warmth to the other.
May there be no loneliness for you;
Though you are two persons, but there is one life before you.
May you go to your dwelling place to enter into the days of your togetherness.
And may your days be good and long together.
To the blushing bride,
And the glowing groom,
May this marriage be a match made in heaven,
And continue to blossom and bloom.
Julie Hebert
May you have warm words on a cool evening, A full moon on a dark night, And a smooth road all the way to your door.
May you always have four walls for the winds,
A roof for the rain, tea beside the fire,
Laughter to cheer you, those you love near you,
And all your heart might desire.
Here�s to the marriage, an institution where one person undertakes to provide happiness for two.

The Time For Love
WHEN the moon was the size av a cart-
wheel,
And as sootherm' soft as cream;
When the lough lay strange wid the night-mist,
And the down was a sea av dream �

When the voice av a gerrl was music,
And your own, like a linnet's wing,
Was fluttherin' full av the moonlight
And the mad glad fire av Spring �

Och, yon was the time for lovin',
Those moitherin' bantherin' years
When I was a Billy-Go-Fister blade
And the world was young, me dears!
Arthur Stringer
The Seekers
Says She:
'Tis a long way yeVe thraveled, me thrue
love,
'Tis a long thrip ye've made on the sea,
For the sake av a shlip av a gerrl loike me,
For a bit av a kiss
No betther than this �
'Tis a long road ye've thraveled, Machree!

Says He:
'Twas a long way and lone way, Mavourneen,
But it's millions av miles, as He knows,
That a hungerin', wanderin' sunbeam goes
To be gettin' a kiss
No warmer than this
From the lips av no sweeter a rose!
Arthur Stringer
