''There are still challenges. In my country (Czech Republic), people judged us. Immediately, they thought he was a refugee. People would start asking me how he got to Europe and why we wanted to marry.

''A lot of the times, it feels like people are waiting for you to divorce, and you know that you'll make them happy if you don't work out; that's what makes me sad. I didn't know that people are really racist. I'm not talking about my country but in general,'' says Anna-Marie.
