Irish Translation Forum

I am looking for a translation for "Our bond is divine and eternal." By the way, are there any traditional Gaelic sayings on the subject of marriage and love? I am considering a wedding tattoo and would prefer to keep it very traditionally Irish instead of making something up. Especially if it contains the word "bond." Thank you for your help!

Our bond is divine and eternal.

Wait for confirmation, my grammar is not so shabby.

I'm not sure, the only Irish proverbs I know are kinda tongue-in-cheek, so hold on for someone who might be able to get something traditional from Irish wedding cards ...

I do have a nice one about love (well kinda about the bond of marriage too)

As beirt táimid aontaithe anois
From two we have become one

oh, and this one:

Dhá croí aontaithe go deo
Two hearts united forever


Ádh mór!(Good Luck!)

Your help is much appreciated! I will hang on for more- thanks again!

There is no verb there so we need to find one rapid.

We can probably shorten the agus to 's in this instance also.

For the verb you could just put a Tá at the start of the phrase- and that works fine.

But I think it works better if you say..

By the way what does not so shabby mean over there- over here it implies very good

"Not so shabby" here also can mean very good, but is used more along the lines of good but not great- Not bad!
