The Science Guy is now a married guy.
In the month of May, American television presenter Bill Nye tied the knot with journalist and author Liza Mundy in an intimate wedding ceremony at the Castle Building’s Haupt Garden located in Washington D.C.’s Smithsonian Institute.
According to a report by People, the pair hit it off after realizing their shared love for storytelling and learning.
Mundy, a New York Times best-selling author and former reporter for the Washington Post, mentioned the television personality’s mother in her book ‘Code Girls: The Untold Story of the American Women Code Breakers of World War II.’
This sparked a reaction from Nye, who wrote an email to Mundy after finding out that she wrote about his mother Jacqueline Jenkins-Nye, who worked as a cryptanalyst for the US Navy during the Second World War.
As time went by, the duo got closer.

On the other hand, 61-year-old Mundy’s wedding ensemble was a satin white gown with an embellished belt. She completed the all-white look with a colorful bouquet.
