First - great news! Jennifer and Sean are getting married! They found each other online, blogging physics. Now, I know they are not the first people to find each other online and get married, but, to my knowledge, this is the highest-profile pair of bloggers to do so. And the first I know in the specifically science blogosphere. Is that true? Anyway, go say Hi to both of them. Congratulations!
Second, after a very long hiatus (but I kept checking often, always hopeful), everyone's favourite artist of extinct mammals and other charismatic megafauna, Olduvai George is back to blogging again, giving us all a new set of great pictures every Tuesday and Friday. And he re-started the blog with something unusual for him - pictures of fish.

I think megnut/kottke or rebecca blood/jjg might have these two beat for "high-profile", but I don't know of any other scienceblogger matchups.

I was going to mention Jason Kottke and Megnut, but someone beat me to it. :) I read about their match-up shortly after meeting Sean, although at the time, things were pretty new and it didn't occur to me we'd have a similar ending!

I guess it depends on one's part of the Universe. I have heard of Kottke and Rebecca Blood, but never of Megnut and jjg, and this is the first time I heard of them finding significant others online. For me, Jennifer and Sean are superstars of the blogosphere way above those others mentioned here.
Anyway, I expect an open-source wedding (the way Brian and Ruby did it): getting the blog readers to choose date, location, dress, rings, menu, etc.
