Reply to comment by NotoriousREV in Couple celebrates 57 years married despite multiple murder attempts by _GABO_

Typically you'd mention an individual solely by their last name after first mention, except where multiple people have the same last name. It's a puff piece, but they're still following style guidelines.

It’s annoying and ruins the flow of the story. There’s no reason not to refer to them by their first names after the first use of their full names. Common sense over style guide.
