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.

Relax. 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.

They managed to weasel an extra $5000 out of YC for their (future) third founder, PG Jr.

too male centric. how about JL Jr./PG Jr.

well, their child is likely to be a boy. statistics show most hackers are male.

Hmm. 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?

It's user generated news. You could have just read the title and continued on.
