I can remember getting off the plane back to Germany, where I met up with two friends who had planned to take me out to dinner in order to celebrate the doctorate and anniversary, only to have to listen to me babbling incoherently for the entire meal about this wonderful woman who I had just met.

My PhD was the inevitable result of a gruelling time in study. My wife: I just couldn't, and still can't, 13 years later, believe my luck. Someone who values their PhD more than their marriage shouldn't have gotten married. I married 2 months after getting my PhD. My PhD was the inevitable result of a gruelling time in study.

Getting married is her achievement, the Nobel is her dad's. Congratulate her on the marriage, and hope it is happy and lasting. And tell her to congratulate her dad for you. No it isn’t Henry.
