Wedding of the Week: 'Our first date was at a filling station, the Applegreen in Charleville'

And as Margaret and Martin are both retired it 'made the romance better — we could meet when we liked, there was no timetable, no clock'

THEIR love story has been “a second chance for both of us” say Margaret Lehane and Martin Leyden.

Margaret, who lives in Cullen, Co Cork, and Martin Leyden, based in Templemore, Co Tipperary, met through mutual friends and got to know one another during the covid-19 pandemic.
