Many wonderful long lasting warm relationships were nurtured in those dimly lit dark bars where the emigrant found solace in those formative years. How exciting it is to meet couples many years later, happily married with a growing family and suddenly realizing they originally met in a friendly Irish Bar thousands of miles from home.
This story is appropriate for Valentines Day. I read it with such anticipation, closed my eyes occasionally as I just relished the moment and could sense the anxiety of the author as she was full of youth and hope and desire and seeking fulfillment and alas, the bubble burst. Then her Knight in Shining Armor appeared from across that darkly lit bar and eventually whisked her away to a life of happiness.
But WOW!!!....... Before the final knot was tied, How about that perchance meet with the old flame in above all places the registry office. Steven Spielberg, where are you? when needed.

Nice story and a welcome break from all the columns about politics and the problems of the RCC. Happy Valentine's Day to you, April, and to everyone else in America and Ireland.
