Stuck for what to write in a wedding card or a good wedding speech? Here are some beautiful blessings as Gaeilge for those getting married.
Don't ask me why, but most phrases as Gaeilge are more poetic, even a simple comhghairdeas ó chroí, which literally translates as congratulations from the heart, seems better than the English version. From congratulations on getting engaged to wishing the newlyweds a long and happy life, there are many beautiful proverbs but here are some of our favourites.
Go maire sibh bhur saol nua- may your new life be a long one
Chíonn beirt rud nach bhfeiceann duine amháin- Two people see better than one.
Sonas oraibh ar bhur lá speisialta- wishing you both happiness on your special day
Saol fada agus folláin i dteannta a chéile- wishing you a long, healthy life together.
Maireann croí éadrom i bhfad- a light heart lives long
Giorraíonn beirt bóthar- Company shortens the road/ journey
Neosfaidh an aimsir- time will tell
Teanga álainn, shaibhir is ea an Ghaeilge a bhfuil saibhreas na nglúnta le sonrú inti. Léiríonn ár gcuid seanfhocal an fhilíocht agus an stair a bhaineann léi, rud nach bhfuil ag go leor teangacha eile.
