"Mi\le fa\ilte dhuit le d'bhre/id,
Fad do re/ gun robh thu sla\n.
Mo/ran la\ithean dhuit is si\th,
Le d'mhaitheas is le d'ni\ bhi fa\s."
Translation
"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.
In today's world . . . I'm thinking, the marriage
kerchief might be a wee bit out-of-date! *S*
