A Limerick love story in the Big Apple

Laura and Shaun Murphy get the Leader in New York

A Limerick love story in the Big Apple

Laura and Shaun Murphy with Peter Cummins outside Moriarty's Bar in Yonkers

OUR new series, Our Limerick Love Story, has reached the news-stands in New York and one couple living there were eager to pick up a copy.

Laura and Shaun Murphy, from Kilmallock, have a love story unlike many others, in fact that paths crossed while one of them was still in the womb.

The happy couple now live in White Plains, New York, and returned home this year to celebrate their big day in Kilmallock and in the Woodlands in Adare.

They are pictured above with another Kilmallock man, Peter Cummins, manager of Moriarty's bar on McLean Avenue, Yonkers.

If you would like to see your wedding or a love story dating back decades featured, please e-mail anne.sheridan@limerickleader.ie with some details.

- The Limerick Leader is available every week in a number of stockists in New York, London, Birmingham and Manchester. Send us your pictures of you with the paper abroad for inclusion in the broadsheet.
