Brazilian-Irish Relationships

I just got all of this story and information second-hand so I don't know how accurate it is,
but it's an interesting story nonetheless. Besides, it is from a reliable source who never let me down
in the past.

I'm very curious about any type of relationship between Brazilian and Irish people. Can they find a common
ground? Can they look past their differences and establish a strong bond and union?

My source told me this was the case in this particular story. An Irish girl met a Brazilian guy and they fell in love....naturally.
Fast-forward the story and she went to live with him and his family for 6 months. To get there, she would have to fly to Madrid first and then change over and fly to Sao Paulo. Then came the really good part. A bus journey which lasted about 48 hours as he lived in some remote part of Amazonia.

Things went well anyway and there were funny and happy moments. She was as white as snow and bright red hair and would be in the photographs with the dark and tanned Amazonians. Guess who was the odd one out?

The Brazilian guy was a computer programmer, highly educated and skilled but could not find work in this damn recession. But, they got married in her home town of Athlone which is in the middle of Ireland (the heart of Ireland). Unfortunately, his family was unable to attend the wedding. His parents were elderly and couldn't really travel understandably and the cost was also a big factor for the rest of his family not travelling.

Nowadays, they live happily ever after together here in Ireland. She works in the science industry and he is now the manager of a Centra store. They still continue to be very much in love and happy.......


So maybe.....just maybe....this kind of union can work once in a while
