Hi guys,
I'm not writing in my business capacity here.
Can anyone please confirm that this Irish paragraph:
"Go mbeannaí Dia daoibh agus go raibh míle maith agaibh as a bheith anseo ag ceiliúradh an phósta Declan agus Rose" translates to:
"Good afternoon everyone and thank you so much for being here today to celebrate the marriage of Declan and Rose." Need it for a thing. Well, a wedding.
Tia,
Jo

For starters, I don't speak Gealic, not a word, but if I google for "Go mbeannaí Dia daoibh", it seems to be Irish.

See for example: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/go_mbeannaí_Dia_daoibh

GT says that the first sentence is "God bless you" instead of "Good afternoon". Why don't you contact directly an Irish translator? There aren't many: See more

I am a rusty Irish speaker but checked it with fluent family members to be sure. Although it translates as 'God bless', 'Dia daoibh' is a standard form of greeting in Irish.

Dia daoibh go léir agus go raibh mile maith agaibh as bheigh i láthair anseo cun posadh Declan agus Rose a ceiliúradh.

A few corrections Feb 3, 2023

I checked again and have a few corrections to make.

Dia dhaoibh go leir agus go raibh mile maith agaibh as bheith i láthair anseo can pósadh Declan agus Rose a ceiliúradh.
