Celtic Wedding Traditions
Celtic wedding traditions and customs have come down to us from the ages, and are full of meaning and beautiful sentiment. I have done a lot of research to find Celtic wedding music. In my research I have come across much more to the Celtic wedding tradition than the music, and would like to share a few of these with you. Many more customs and traditions, as well as Celtic music suitable for weddings, are included in my Celtic wedding book.
Celtic Harp
The Irish harp is one of the world's oldest instruments. The ancient Irish kings employed harpists to entertain them. Greatly honored, the harp is the national emblem of Ireland.
Irish Blessing
May the blessing of light
Be with you always,
Light without and light within.
And may the sun shine
Upon you and warm your heart
Until it glows like a great fire
So that others may feel
The warmth of your love
For one another.
Be with you always,
Light without and light within.
And may the sun shine
Upon you and warm your heart
Until it glows like a great fire
So that others may feel
The warmth of your love
For one another.
Celtic Toast
Wishing you always
walls for the wind,
A roof for the rain,
Tea beside the fire,
And the love and laughter
of those you hold dear.
