Irish Wedding Blessing

This was read during my wedding ceremony. I loved it as soon as I read it. I thought today being St. Patty's Day was the perfect day to share with you

*Irish Wedding Blessing*
May the road rise to meet you. May the wind be always at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face, the rain fall soft upon 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 bring a smile to your lips, a twinkle to your eye. And when eternity beckons at the end of a life heaped high with love, may the lord embrace you with the arms that have nurtured you the whole length of your joy-filled days. May god hold you both in the palm of his hands. And today, may the spirit of the love find a dwelling place in your hearts.
