Best man toasts as Gaelige

smokingman

Hi all,

Got a smidgín of Gaelige myself but was wondering if anyone knows any best man toasts as Gaelige?

My brother is getting married to a girl from Honduras and I'd like to be able to toast them both in Irish and Spanish (I'm best man).

Cheers!

I gave a blessing at my (Canadian) uncle's wedding:

Má déanann sibh calaois,
Go ndéana sibh calaois ar an mbás.

Má troideann sibh,
Go dtroide sibh do cúis chéanna.

Má goideann sibh,
Go ngoide sibh croí do chéile,

Agus má ólann sibh,
Go n-óla sibh linn.

Or something like that.

Can you translate please obl?

My "plan" is to greet everybody at the start (Reverend Fathers, Family and Friends, welcome to the wedding of X and Y) in Irish, then Spanish, then English. I have the Spanish and English bits sorted but I'm on the Irish bit now (wedding's next wednesday).

Then at the end I want to do the same except saying "To X and Y, may they have a long and happy married life together"

If you cheat, may you cheat death.
If you fight, may it be on the same side.
If you steal, may you steal the other's heart.
And if you drink, may you drink with us.
