Mawonii

Matt Hooper × Gawonii Quint

Matt and Gawonii met because Matt interrupted Gawonii’s reading to correct something in the book. That turned into an argument, then several hours of talking, and by the time either of them noticed the hour, Gawonii had missed the last ferry home. They married three years later, on July 3, 1973, and have more or less been talking over each other ever since.
