Go raibh Dia leat agus go mbeannaí Dia thú. Go bhfeice tú clann do chlainne. Go raibh an mí-ádh gann ort agus go raibh cumhdach Dé ort. Ná raibh agat ach an sonas ón lá seo amach. Is geal leis an bhfiach dubh a ghearrcach féin.

Ormondo has given you a version in singular. I suspect you may want plural. Go raibh Dia libh, agus go mbeannaí Sé sibh Go bhfeice sibh sliocht bhur sleachta(*) Go raibh an mí ádh gann oraibh, agus beannachtaí flúirseach Na raibh agaibh ach sonas ón lá seo amach (*) This is an alternative to Ormondo's version - which is used traditionally in a phrase for weddings. Another phrase I like is Nár phósfar go deo arís tú/sibh May you never marry again [i.e. may this marriage last] |

:-*) Well, I don't know what I was thinking about giving you the singular version. Maybe in a few years time a person will be able to marry himself (or herself) - which might indeed be mankind's answer to the perfect union; divorce would be quite out of the question, I would think. Or maybe I was thinking about the traditional mother-in-law's blessing...;-) But anyway Aonghus has clarified; I heard "sliocht bhur sleachta" only last week on "Mo Ghrá go Dingle Thú" - agus tá beannacht níos faide ann le "sliocht srl." nach ea? Is geal leis an bhfiach dubh a ghearrcach féin.

Tá "Sliocht sleachta ar shliocht bhur sleachta". |

Sin é. Is geal leis an bhfiach dubh a ghearrcach féin.
