This just appeared on one of my favorite chess sites:
Polgar – Truong Marriage
In an uncharacteristically low-key announcement on her personal blog (susanpolgar.blogspot.com), Susan Polgar, the Queen of American chess, confirmed her marriage to Paul Truong, the King of American chess promotion: A special thank you to all!.
The former Women’s World Champion had just returned from giving the commencement address at Texas Tech University (video available at Texas Tech’s New Queen of Chess), where she received an honorary doctorate. After the speech, the school announced that she would serve as Executive Director of Texas Tech’s new Susan Polgar Institute for Chess Excellence (SPICE).
Congratulations and best wishes to the first couple of American chess!

This was my response to Mark:
Thank you Mark for the well wishes! I appreciate it. I was actually saving the official announcement for a major event at Texas Tech. I was planning to have an open invitation to the chess community as well as some of the most important chess dignitaries. It is still in the works and an announcement will be made as soon as I can secure the venue at Tech.
Best wishes,
Susan Polgar

Susan and Paul, I am so happy for both of you! Believe or not, I have been wanting this to happen for years now. I knew you two would make a great couple. I have been married 20 years now and hope you two a long happy successful marriage and keep on working for chess. We need you both. Felicitations from MayanKing :o)
Now MayanKing, you need to help them get elected. Otherwise, we would be stuck with the same old bunch of chess politicos.
Partnership with the same vision.
Congratulations!
Susan and Paul, congratulations and all the best!
Congratulations. This is awesome news. This is wonderful! Congrats and wish you both all the very Best…Sandia and family
