I’ve met Fec and his wife so I can attest that he did indeed marry above himself, as have I.  From his blog:

The Wife and I ran outside this
morning in response to cries for help and screams from a dog. We
arrived in the street beside our house to find an elderly neighbor
walking his small dogs. A large tan pit bull was attacking a small
white terrier. The Wife pulled the pit bull off the terrier. I got
between the pit bull and the neighbor as he and his pets returned home.

The Wife dialed 911 and a GPD officer arrived momentarily. He called
in an Animal Control Officer. These two brave souls armed with a
shotgun entered the yard and had the owner barricade the pit bull in a
fenced patio behind the home…

BTW, heroic behavior from the Wife is nothing unusual. I approached
at a trot as the Wife sprinted past me. I was wondering which forearm
to sacrifice for the terrier. Apparently, no such thoughts plagued her,
as clad only in a kimono, she was on that Pit Bull and it was over
before I arrived.

The Wife once rescued a swimmer caught in a riptide and has
successfully performed the Heimlich maneuver several times. God only
knows how often she’s saved me from injury or death without my
knowledge.
