Spanish translation "always be happy"

Hello everyone,

I'm having a little trouble figuring out how to say "always be happy" in Spanish. I know that the basic "be happy" is se feliz,

But does the addition of always make it siempre se feliz, se siempre feliz, or something else?

Also is there an accent with se?

Thanks so much!

¡Que seas feliz! ( May you be happy, to a friend. )

Que siempre sea feliz ( that you may always be happy, to somebody you call usted)

Or if you're takling to a couple of friends that have just got married for example:

¡ Que seaís felices para siempre( May you be happy forevermore!)

You are right that it is 'ser feliz', but unfortunatly in wishes for other people the subjunctive is used, which is the form sea. Don't worry too much if you're a beginner, just think of it as a set phrase.
