If life for me hath joy or light,
‘Tis all from thee;
My thoughts by day,
my dreams by night are but of thee,
of only thee.

And your evenings bring peace.

May His blessing rest upon you,
And fill all your coming days.

A thousand welcomes you’ll find here before you,
And the oftener you come here the more I’ll adore you.

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 you're dead. -

And the lilt of Irish laughter,
Fill your heart with gladness,
That stays forever. -

With a pocket full of gold as the least of your wealth. -

The kindness you spread keep returning to you. -

And may good luck pursue you,

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. -
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.
- May there never be a fight that cannot be fixed with a roll in the hay.
- As you slide down the banister of life, may the splinters never point the wrong way.
- May the good saints protect you and bless you today and may troubles ignore you each step of the way.
- May the Good Lord take a liking to you and your union - but, not too soon.
- May the sound of happy music, and the lilt of Irish laughter, fill your heart with gladness, that stays forever after.
- May all your ups and downs be under the sheets!

The Time For Love
Poet: Arthur Stringer
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!
-
The Seekers
Poet: Arthur Stringer
Says She:
'Tis a long way ye've 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!
If you feel up to it, you could try writing your own toasts. You are basically just telling them what your wishes are for them put together like a poem. Make a list of what you hope their marriage will entail, all good things of course, then put each on at the end of...May you... They don't have to rhyme, but if you'd prefer then rhyming always is a nice addition.
