Congrats to PG on getting hitched
- jshajan 18y agoI'm a little late. But quite honestly, this really is the most beautiful investment yet. Congratulations pg.
- nickb 18y agoCongrats PG and Jessica!

- dcurtis 18y agoEasy answer: no.
- GavinB 18y agoBut is he Nick Burns, your company's computer guy?
- lsb 18y agoEasy answer: yes. http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=152559 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=152559

- Tichy 18y agoWaiting for the "Running a startup with your spouse" essay ;-)
- icky 18y ago... I presume.
- ssanders82 18y agoSavor this day, my friend. You will never get another opportunity to be as succinctly clever. I am jealous.
- nunb 18y agoyou mean envious. semantic nazi strikes again!
- iamelgringo 18y agoYeah, congrats, Paul and Jessica. Now, I have some questions about my startup, and I also have a few more questions about Arc, because it's been buggy for me lately. And, Hacker News has been really slow, and we really should ban such and such a site from submitting links here. And the quality of Hacker News... blah.... blah... blah... Oh, wait, you're on your honeymoon... OOOOHhhhhhh, sorry, my bad.
- iamelgringo 18y agoAnd can I say, Jessica was planning startup school 6 weeks before her wedding! Holy Crap! How did they stay sane!?
- ALee 18y agoWow... surprising, I guess I know how it feels to be one of the folks not in the know. Congrats PG and Jessica! Coincidentally, your two books sit side by side on my shelf (as I'm sure it does for the YC community).
- ajkirwin 18y agoCongratulations, Paul! Way to go! Now does this mean she owns half of Hacker News? ;)
- falsestprophet 18y agoI think she owned a third to begin with.
- mrtron 18y agoSo now she owns 2/3? :)
- puppetsock 18y agoI assume YC owns "Hacker News". YC's partners are pg, rtm, tlb, and jl. I don't know whether they all have an equal share.
- falsestprophet 18y agoI thought YC only had three partners. Sorry, my bad.
- bgutierrez 18y agoCongratulations, Paul!
- gcv 18y agoPaul and Jessica: best wishes!
- dkokelley 18y agoCongratulations!
- simianstyle 18y agoCongrats! Any pics?
- ivankirigin 18y agoAwesome!
- Tichy 18y agoCongratulations!
- PStamatiou 18y agoCongrats Paul!
- davidw 18y agoCongratulations! Now remember to do the laundry, get the groceries, and load the dishwasher. And get that stuff off the floor! Joking aside, getting married, together with our recent baby is one of the best things I ever did.
- LogicHoleFlaw 18y agoShouldn't that be "sudo make me a sandwich"? ;P Congratulations, you two! May you have many happy years together.
- electric 18y agocongrats paul!!! who's the lucky girl?

- mhartl 18y agoI'm really happy for Paul and Jessica, but I do find it a bit odd to have the event announced on Hacker News (and even then via Twitter; though not private, Alexis's tweet was probably not intended for general distribution). This is news about a particular (albeit prominent) hacker's private life, not 'hacker news' per se; it doesn't seem general enough to be posted here.
- bprater 18y agoSometimes we all just need a hero friend.
- DocSavage 18y agoNormally I'd agree. But without PG there'd be no Hacker News, and many of us would like some avenue to wish him well on a very significant occasion. So here's to the newlyweds :) Cheers.
- xlnt 18y agopg didn't post it here. this is a user generated news site. a user posted it. other users voted it up. that's how it's supposed to work.
- eugenejen 18y agoRelax. Let's just treat this as Hacker News's "Sex and the city" moment. All Mr. BIG will like to keep low profile in wedding. Not on page six, valleywag and techcrunch. All he needs is a registration in court office following a simple diner gathering with all his/her best friends and enjoy what life provides.
- jmatt 18y agoIt's user generated news. You could have just read the title and continued on. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flamebait http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flamebait
- pageman 18y agocongratulations PG and Jessica! :)
- kashif 18y agoCongratulations :)
- dmpayton 18y agoCongratulations to you both! Neat, I share my wedding anniversary (1 year today!) with pg.
- champion 18y agoMe too, sorta -- we got married this Sunday a year ago, but the date is 2 days off
- icky 18y agoCongrats! :-D
- staunch 18y agoCongratulations PG!
- simplegeek 18y agoThat's a great news, congrats ;)
- sealedidentity 18y agoCongrats Mr. and Mrs. PG.
- rsa 18y agogreat news, congratulations!
- Conceptual 18y agoCongrats PG!
- mathogre 18y agoCongrats and Best Wishes to the both of you!!!!!!
- alaskamiller 18y agoIf Paul didn't announce this himself on this site, I don't think a secondary source of a Tweet should be on here.
- rokhayakebe 18y agoCongratulations
- lyime 18y agoCongrats!!
- shadchnev 18y agoCongratulations!
- aasarava 18y agoCongratulations!
- raju 18y agoCongrats PG! Best wishes to the both of you.
- cosmok 18y agoBest Wishes!
- cousin_it 18y agoOh frabjous day! Callooh, callay!
- yan 18y agoI always had the thought in the back of my mind that there was something between pg and rtm. pg just speaks exceptionally warmly of rtm, so I considered it a possibility. I am not trying to be insulting or be understood in the wrong way, its just something that came to mind. But anyway, enough with silly thoughts, congrats to pg and jl!
- congrats 18y agoIt's not silly, that would be saying there's something wrong with it and there's not! CA just ruled same-sex marriage legal and it's just as morally valid regardless :)
- yan 18y agoI meant silly as I put a few facts together with no common evidence, not that there's anything wrong with it.
- rms 18y agoThat's really funny... maybe even cute. :) Congrats to pg and jl!
- plinkplonk 18y ago"pg just speaks exceptionally warmly of rtm, so I considered it a possibility" Speaking "warmly" of someone's technical skills/intelligence is an indicator of a sexual interest? I don't get it (seriously). I just did a site search of paulgraham.com for all mentions of rtm, and the "warmest" mention I found was at http://www.paulgraham.com/heroes.html http://www.paulgraham.com/heroes.html, which does not seem to me (a heterosexual male if that is of any interest) to indicate anything remotely sexual. Positive? Sure. Exceptionally so? I guess I just don't see it. Maybe you were referring to some verbal communication you witnessed?
- yan 18y agoI don't know why you took it so personally. Not to mention that pg dedicated a book to him and always speaks extremely highly of him, it is definitely possible. There's nothing wrong with homsexuality and I intended that post as a joke, so relax.
- shiro 18y agoGood for you two, Paul and Jessica. Congratulations. Expecting a new essay on how this event change your life :)
- congrats 18y agoCongrats PG and RTM!!
- eugenejen 18y agoHmm, I guess PG and RTM have been hitched through all their partnerships in business/startup/hacking ventures. Maybe the best way to get around same sex marriage issues in U.S. is to allow all same sex couples to form small business partnerships? We know all founders are in fact like couples married to each other.
- swdesignguy 18y agoCongratulations!
- yan 18y agoI'm sure they took out no more than $20,000 for the first three months of marriage, to see if they can make it work and produce someone who can make something that people want. :D
- ph0rque 18y agoThat should be $15,000: $5000 for each co-founder, and $5000 for the startup.
- spydez 18y agoThey managed to weasel an extra $5000 out of YC for their (future) third founder, PG Jr.
- eugenejen 18y agotoo male centric. how about JL Jr./PG Jr.
- falsestprophet 18y agowell, their child is likely to be a boy. statistics show most hackers are male.
- eugenejen 18y agoHmm. I think the statistics says "Attractive couples have more female children". (Edit: see the "Engineers Have More Sons, Nurses Have More Daughters: An Evolutionary Psychological Extension of Baron-Cohen's Extreme Male Brain Theory of Autism and Its Empirical Implications." and "Beautiful Parents Have More Daughters: A Further Implication of the Generalized Trivers-Willard Hypothesis") Ok, we might just admit our stereotype that hackers are not that good looking. But for each individual, he/she may be a black swan. Someone may start to build a model to predict the probability distribution of genders of Leah Culver's children?
- babul 18y agoCongrats Paul and Jessica. Best wishes for a long and happy marriage :D
- misterbwong 18y agocongrats pg and jessica!

- kajecounterhack 18y agoCongrats to PG and Jess!!!
- tokipin 18y agoi'm kind of jealous of pg of course grats
- fuad 18y agoCongratulation paul. Third startup from pg after viaweb and ycombinator
- damon 18y agoWow, I had no idea! Best wishes to the newlyweds. Is it Jessica Graham now? JG?
- eugenejen 18y agoProfessional women usually reserves the right to keep their maiden name unchanged. At least I've been seen a lot of women in NYC's financial/media circle who never change their name even after marriage. I never understand the purpose of name change of women after marriage. The ownership doesn't change lately in first world in 21st century.
- LogicHoleFlaw 18y agoNever underestimate the power of tradition.
- Jaggu 18y agoCongrats! After a marriage things changes a bit. PG and Jessica are involved with YC so, lets hope there is no side effects on YC :)
- wensing 18y agoCongratulations. Looking forward to the extra insight this produces in your essays.
- Mistone 18y agoawesome news - congrats folks - so where is the happy couple taking their honeymoon? did anybody else know they where a couple?
- ranparas 18y agoCongratulations PG !
- jmatt 18y agoGratZzz! This explains why he's been inactive on the arclanguage forums.
- v3rt 18y agoFunny how even INT(P) types and such enjoy celebrity gossip, just in a different bubble.
- notphilatall 18y agoCongratulations you guys! Let us know if you need to syndicate or label wedding photos. ;)
- lst 18y agoNo PG comment. Too busy already?!
- dkd 18y agoCongratulations to PG & JL!!!
- jkush 18y agoCongratulations on launching the biggest startup yet!
- Xlp-Thlplylp 18y agoMany happy carriage returns!
