I'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.

- 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.
