a nerd wedding

Or that's how the groom characterized it, and he should know! In lieu of rings, the couple exchanged cards from the role-playing game Settlers of Catan, and there was a reading from The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. The bride baked a cake topped with (of course) origami and a fine time was had by all, including many MIT grads. (To see my story about  these kids before the age of consent see my story from Discover mag.) It was our own little Sam who Got Hitched! May he and Heidi happily explore the galaxy in tandem for light years to come!
