I would very much appreciate someone's help on getting the correct translation for the following Wedding Toast. I've got pretty much most of the translation but I'm stuck on the translation for the last line.

Here is the full Wedding Toast:

"May your years ahead prosper with love & affection, health & happiness which you both richly deserve."

I have an Irish translation for "May your years ahead prosper with love and affection, health & happiness"

which is: "Gach rath oraibh sna blianta amach, líonta le grá is cion, sláinte is sonas.

However, I don't have an Irish translation for: "which you both richly deserve".

A good friend of mine is getting married next week and I'd really love to get this right as he's a native Irish speaker from the west of Ireland.

Thank you.

Hi. Welcome to the forum. :wave:

Perhaps:

Gach rath oraibh sna blianta amach, líonta le grá is cion, sláinte is sonas atá tuillte go maith agaibh.


Would sna blianta amach sound better as sna blianta amach anseo? or does that mean something different?
