In this episode we bring you the story of Alex and Marie, who got married way back in 1988, proving that love truly knows no boundaries – especially in Northern Ireland. Alex, a Protestant, and Marie, a Catholic, managed to make it work&nbsp;<em>across the divide</em>, navigating a relationship in the heart of the Troubles. </p><p><br></p><p>With plenty of laughs, a few Northern Irish slang words thrown in (hope you can catch them!), and a good bit of craic, they share how they defied expectations and built a life together. It’s a tale that could only happen&nbsp;<em>in Northern Ireland</em>&nbsp;– full of heart, humor, and a love story that transcended the times.</p>","author_name":"Gail Stannard"}
