I was hoping to use this quote as part of my wedding invitation. Any help with a translation would be greatly appreciated!

"Our hearts joined together as one forever"

Please, and thanks!

Perhaps:

Ár dhá gcroí ceangailte mar aon le chéile go deo.
"Our two hearts joined together as one forever"


I believe the Irish makes better sense and is more idiomatic with dhá than just ár gcroí in this case.

Await further input ...

Breandáns is fine

Ár dhá gcroí fite fuaite le chéile go deo.

I notice yours is a little different than Breandáns. Could you explain the difference?

fite fuaite "interwoven, intertwined" literally "woven and sewn/bound" is certainly a lovely expression and I did consider it. I just had the impression that when used with hearts it was a bit of a mixed metaphor. Perhaps I am thinking too much (happens a lot :winkgrin: ).

How do others feel?

So what is the meaning of the phrase : ceangailte mar aon ?

ceangailte mar aon "bound/tied/united as one"

FGB has Tá an leanúin (pósta) ceangailte "the couple are united in marriage". It is safe, if a little "drier"/boring compared to fite fuaite.

This may be a dumb question, but what is FGB?

Ah, sorry, not so dumb. I should have given FGB in full: Foclóir Gaeilge-Béarla ("Irish-English Dictionary") (Ó Dónaill, 1977) is a large standard reference dictionary.
