We are having a close friend read an Irish Blessing during the wedding. Anyone have any that they want to share? Below is one that I've found and like.

 

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.

I am having Mike's sister read the Irish Wedding Song. One of my friends always sings it at our friends weddings, but unfortunately she's not coming to our wedding, so I hope it sounds as nice being read. (Sorry it's in all caps, I copied it from a site):

 

THERE THEY STAND HAND IN HAND, AND EXCHANGE WEDDING BANDS.

TODAY IS THE DAY OF ALL THEIR DREAMS AND PLANS.

AND ALL OF THERE LOVED ONES ARE HERE TO SAY

GOD BLESS THIS COUPLE WHO MARRY TODAY

 

IN GOOD TIMES AND BAD TIMES, IN SICKNESS AND HEALTH

MAY THEY KNOW THAT RICHES ARE NOT NEEDED FOR WEALTH

HAVE THEM FACE PROBLEMS THEY'LL MEET ON THEIR WAY

GOD BLESS THIS COUPLE WHO MARRY TODAY

 

MAY THEY FIND PEACE OF MIND, COMES TO ALL WHO ARE KIND

MAY THE ROUGH TIMES AHEAD, BECOME TRIUMPHS IN TIME

MAY THEIR CHILDREN BE HAPPY EACH DAY

GOD BLESS THIS FAMILY WHO STARTED TODAY

 

IN GOOD TIMES AND BAD TIMES, IN SICKNESS AND HEALTH

MAY THEY KNOW THAT RICHES ARE NOT NEEDED FOR WEALTH

HAVE THEM FACE PROBLEMS THEY'LL MEET ON THERE WAY

GOD BLESS THIS COUPLE WHO MARRY TODAY

 

AS THEY GO, MAY THEY KNOW EVERY LOVE THAT WILL SHOW

AND AS LIFE GETS SHORTER, MAY THEIR FEELINGS GROW

WHEREVER THEY TRAVEL, WHEREVER THEY STAY

GOD BLESS THIS COUPLE WHO MARRY TODAY

IN GOOD TIMES AND BAD TIMES, IN SICKNESS AND HEALTH

MAY THEY KNOW THAT RICHES ARE NOT NEEDED FOR WEALTH

HAVE THEM FACE PROBLEMS THEY'LL MEET ON THEIR WAY

GOD BLESS THIS COUPLE WHO MARRY TODAY

GOD BLESS THIS COUPLE WHO MARRY TODAY

This is the one that we will be using:

 

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 your fields.

And until we meet again,

May God hold you in the palm of his hand.

May God be with you and bless you;

May you see your children’s children.

May you be poor if misfortune,

Rich in blessings,

May you know nothing but happiness

From this day forward.

May the road rise to meet you

May the wind be always at your back

May the warm rays of sun fall upon your harm

And may the hand of a friend always be near.

May green be the grass you walk on,

May blue be the skies above you,

May pure be the joys that surround you,

May true be the hearts that love you.

May the raindrops fall lightly on your brow

May the soft winds freshen your spirit

May the sunshine brighten your heart

May the burdens of the day rest lightly upon you

And may God enfold you in the mantle of His love.

 

May the road rise to meet you

May the wind be always at your back

May the sun shine warm upon your face

and the rain fall soft upon your fields

And until we meet again my friend

May God hold you in the hollow (palm) of his hand

 

May God be with you and bless you

May you see your children's children

May you be poor in misfortunes and rich in Blessings

May you know nothing but happiness

from this day forward

 

But rich or poor, quick or slow,

May you know nothing but happiness

From this day forward.

May the joys of today

Be those of tomorrow.

 

---

 

May your mornings bring joy 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 blessings rest upon you

And fill all your coming days.

      Cabo Azul Wedding Cost / Review

      By Emmma · Posted

      Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!

      Wedding venues and wedding planner in Costa Rica

      By KristinaH · Posted

      Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
