Answer 1

¡Felicidades, y que tengan juntos una vida plena de bendiciones y maravillas! ¡Congratulations, and may you have a life full of blessings and wonders together!

¡Enhorabuena!

¡Cómo me alegro!

¡Buena suerte!

Etc, etc.

Answer 3

In addition to Lazarus' excellent suggestions, "¡Felicitáciones!" is quite acceptable. Like all of his suggestions, this is a very general-purpose congratulatory expression. Since it's an obvious cognate with English, I won't bother to translate it.

Why is there an accent on the a? "Felicitaciones" has an accent on the "o" but only when it is without the "es". - GuitarWarrior, Apr 8, 2011

Answer 4

At the reception (dinner or banquet), it is common to offer the following (or just follow along with others):

¡Viva el novio!, ¡Viva la novia! or ¡Vivan los novios!

Answer 5

Muchas felicidades. Ustedes dos hacen una pareja muy bonita. Enhorabuena!
