Gaelic wedding blessing

Supplied by Christopher Lau, University of Calgary

Mìle fàilte dhuit le d'bhréid, Fad do ré gun robh thu slàn.

Móran làithean dhuit is sìth, Le d'mhaitheas is le d'nì bhi fàs.

Translated as:

“A thousand welcomes to you with your marriage kerchief, may you be healthy all your days. May you be blessed with long life and peace, may you grow old with goodness, and with riches.”

This is attributed to the Rev. Donald MacLeod, minister of Duirinish, Skye, Scotland c. 1760.
