I was wondering if I could get help translating
"live in my heart and pay no rent" so that I can
get it inscribed on the inside of a wedding band.

Thank you.

Cónaigh i mo chroí gan chíos.

Hey, I don't usually do wedding rings, but you've reached past the run-of-the-mill kitsch with that one! :-)

And if you have room you could end it with "gan chíos gan cháin", a stock alliterating expression of the sort that Irish is fond of. It means "without rent or taxes", or simply "with no costs":

Cónaigh i mo chroí gan chíos gan cháin.
