Gaelic wedding readings

As the language of the Scottish Highlands and Islands, Gaelic can sound beautiful in poetry and prose and make a lovely addition to a Scottish wedding ceremony or speech. The English translation can be given if neccessary or printed in your order of service for those who don't have the Gaelic.

Ceist (Question)

Bheirinn a’ ghrian dhut ’s a’ ghealach
is reultan na h-iarmailt gu tur –
ciamar, mar sin, as leòr dhomh
mi fhìn a thoirt dhut?

English translation

I'd give the sun to you,
and the moon,
and all of the stars,
How then is it enough
that I give you myself?
