Irish Midi-Files
Wedding Toasts
If I had a flower for every time I thought of you,
I could walk through my garden forever.

May your wedding night be like a kitchen table...
all legs and no drawers.

Here's to the home that Gary & Jennifer shall build.
It shall have a kitchen on the first floor,
a bar on the second floor,
a bedroom on the third floor,
and a cathedral on the fourth.
So they can eat when they are hungry,
drink when they are dry,
make love when they are lonely,
and have salvation when they die.

May you......
Work like you don't need money,
love like you've never been hurt,
dance like no-one is watching,
screw like it's being filmed,
and drink like a true Irishman.

Here's to the game called "Ten Toes"
That's played all over town.
The lassies play with ten toes up.
And the lads with ten toes down!

May there always be work for your hands to do.
May your purse always hold a coin or two.
May the sun always shine warm on your windowpane.
May a rainbow be certain to follow each rain.
May the hand of a friend always be near you.
And may God fill your heart with gladness to cheer you.

May you taste the sweetest pleasures that fortune ere bestowed,
and may all your friends remember all the favors you are owed.

May you have:
No frost on your spuds,
No worms on your cabbage,
May your goat give plenty of milk,
and if you inherit a donkey,
may she be in foal.

Health and a long life to you.
Land without rent to you.
A child every year to you.
And if you can't go to heaven,
May you at least die in Ireland.

May the luck of the Irish possess you.
May the devil fly off with your worries.
May God bless you forever and ever.

May the strength of three be in your journey.

Here's to a sweetheart, a bottle, and a friend.
The first beautiful, the second full, the last ever faithful.

May all your ups and downs
come only in the bedroom.

May you see each other through many dark days,
and make all the rest a little brighter.

Here's to living single and drinking double.

May your neighbors respect you,
Trouble neglect you,
The angels protect you,
and heaven accept you,
May the Irish hills caress you.
May her lakes and rivers bless you.
May the luck of the Irish enfold you.
May the blessing of Saint Patrick behold you.

May you be as happy in life as me and eh........what's her name?  

Here's to wives and girlfriends.
May they never meet!

May you look back fifty years from now
and agree that today was the worst day of your life.

May you get all your wishes but one
so you always have something to strive for!

Never be afraid to trust an unknown future to a known God.

Merry met, and merry part,
I drink to thee with all my heart.
Here's to you both
a beautiful pair,
on the birthday of
your love affair.
Marry a mountain girl
and you marry
the whole mountain.
Women, Can't live with 'em,
Pass the beer nuts.


The only difference
between and Irish wedding
and an Irish wake,
is one less drunk.
Here's to me and
here's to you.
And here's to
love and laughter.
I'll be true as long as you
But not a single second after!
Dance as if no one
were watching,
Sing as if no one
were listening,
And live every day
as if it were your last.
May you be poor in
misfortune,
Rich in blessings,
Slow to make enemies,
and quick to make friends.
May the winds of fortune
sail you,
May you sail a gentle sea.
May it always be the
other guy
who says,
"this drinks on me."
Rich or poor, quick or slow,
May you know
nothing but happiness
from this day forward.
May all your joys be pure joys
and all your pain champagne.
May the luck of the Irish
Lead to happiest heights
and the highway you travel
be lined with green lights.
Bless you and yours
As well as the cottage
you live in.
May the roof overhead
be well thatched
And those inside
be well matched.
