Our dear scientist gave D a wedding present in the form of a plasmid DNA with their names encoded in it. All of us were blown away by the effort he took to do this. He gave a totally detailed presentation as proof of its existence. I saw stars. I've obviously forgotten all chemistry lessons except that The Periodic Table exists.
Reproduced from their wedding blog, here's the proof!
*********
A DNA sequencing chromatogram showing the sequence of the 4 DNA bases (adenine, thymine, guanine, cytosine) within the region of interest on the plasmid.
If you ignore the first and last 3 bases which are start and stop signals (ie ATG and TAA), you will find that the DNA sequence translated into its corresponding amino acid sequence reads: DAWNANDIANALWAYS.
Results may be verified with a genetic code table.

wow. and i mean wow. it's really brilliant. and i believe dawn's a woman totally worthy of all these efforts and most importantly, understand and appreciate what's behind this instead of saying 'huh? where's the bling?'
you've got to be kidding me. a whole DNA sequence? this rocks.
*see stars too* waah. it'll take me years to finger this out. i think i know why my guy's no scientist. i don't speak that language!! too cheeem!!!
what a gesture!! he must have spent alot of time on this. and it's pretty amazing stuff. and this is the sort of research stuff he does?? so deep end!
you know what? this is going to give my man ideas for a present. ugh. it's sweet. but i don't want that from him leh....
oh...wow. this is like the total test of love. one party to make the effort, for the other party to totally appreciate. guys, know your woman before you do this. and i believe dawn totally sees ian's effort. i like it. it's cool!
i'll be damned. this actually works!
a present from the heart, i call it. congratulations dawn + ian.
i believe this is on top of a ring. and brings to mind a hand-made present. how many of us still give that nowadays? very rare. very warm. touching. :)
