Irish Wedding Blessings

Irish Wedding Blessings

Irish wedding blessings are similar to Irish readings. Some can be shortened versions of Irish readings. Blessings can be said at any time throughout the traditional Irish wedding day. Sometimes the mother of the bride or groom will say a short blessing before the ceremony in the privacy of family and friends.

A friend or family member may include a blessing in a toast or speech after the wedding. Frequently, the couple chooses an Irish wedding blessing to include on their wedding program or a small card that guests receive upon entering the church.

The blessing could also be printed on small cards and included in each person's place setting.

There are many unique ways to include the blessing in a wedding day. If you've included an Irish wedding blessing in your day, email us how you incorporated it into the ceremony or reception and we'll share it with the rest of our readers.

Here are a few listed below:

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.

This blessing is well known, probably because of the frequency in which it is said to comfort a nervous bride:

Happy is the bride that rain falls on

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.
