Charles Simonyi's marriage to Lisa Persdotter must get one person very heartbroken. She is Martha Stewart [wikipedia],the business magnate and television host, who often called Simonyi as her boyfriend. In April, 2007, Stewart accompanied Simonyi to the Baikonur cosmodrome where the former Microsoft engineer with a wealth more than US$20 million was blasted off to ISS for a 13-day space traveling.
"...the Simonyi-Persdotter upcoming nuptials would do well to choose “Fly Me to the Moon” as the wedding song. Meanwhile Martha Stewart could be singing the blues." commented Puget Sound Business Journal
