On Thursday, The New York Times published a profile of a couple married for 75 years. Their claim to fame? They are named Harvey and Irma.
“I don’t know how they’ve done that, to have a Harvey and Irma,” said Irma Schluter of the powerful hurricanes bearing their names. “I don’t know how that worked out.”
Irma and Harvey Schluter were married in 1942. The Times told their story on Thursday. And the consensus reaction on social media? Awwwwwww…..
Here is a sampling of the Twitter feedback to the story:
