The phrase is to signify that the bride and groom know each other from past lives. Each would wear the ring so inscribed; the rings are of Celtic design! CO preferred.
Thanks to all for a translation!!

Hi. Comhghairdeas libh! (Congratulations.) Nice idea.

I'd write in each:

Tá aithne agam ort. "I know you"

Await confirmation or correction ...

Possibly - "Tá aithne agam ort"

edit : Breandán bet me to it.

Thank you both so much. Seems your confirmations just might do it!

The following also came up at IGTF:


Is that you? or perhaps someone you "know"?

Tá aithne agam ort does in fact have both meanings, but kk is right in that Tá mé eolach ort has a stronger feeling of understanding the other person.

Yes, she is the other half of the equation :-)

The phrase you're referring to seems to suggest a deep, timeless connection between the bride and groom, symbolizing that their bond transcends this lifetime and extends to past lives. The rings, being inscribed with this idea, would reflect this eternal bond and the idea of soulmates who have been together across time. The Celtic design likely adds to the symbolism, as Celtic patterns often represent eternity, continuity, and the interconnectedness of life. It's a beautiful way to signify a love that endures beyond time, a shared journey through past and present.

If you're looking for a translation or further help with the inscription, feel free to provide more details about the exact wording, and I’d be happy to assist!
