I proposed one evening in a nice hotel during a week we were both attending a technical conference during the day. The coincidence between the marriage proposal and the conference was purely due to necessity. <BR/><BR/>To address industrialstrengthscienceboy’s query, I think nothing is out of the ordinary here. A high percentage of female PhD physicists with marry males PhD physicists. (This leads to the well documented “Two-body problem” http://physicsweb.org/articles/world/14/10/10.) This percentage is probably true for other fields as well.<BR/><BR/>FYI:<BR/>My better half is definitely going to CLEO; I will probably go as well.

The two children are incontrovertable evidence that you get girls. Or at least 1 girl.
