The lights were electric, the energy high, and the <strong data-start=\"781\" data-end=\"793\">kiss cam<\/strong> began its usual sweep of the crowd.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"831\" data-end=\"1054\">Then, it landed on a couple who looked a little <em data-start=\"879\" data-end=\"890\">too close<\/em> for comfort.<br data-start=\"903\" data-end=\"906\" \/>The woman? <strong data-start=\"917\" data-end=\"934\">Kristin Cabot<\/strong>, Chief People Officer at Astronomer.<br data-start=\"971\" data-end=\"974\" \/>The man? <strong data-start=\"983\" data-end=\"997\">Andy Byron<\/strong>, her boss \u2014 and <strong data-start=\"1014\" data-end=\"1021\">CEO<\/strong> of the billion-dollar tech firm.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1056\" data-end=\"1114\">Here\u2019s the kicker: <strong data-start=\"1075\" data-end=\"1114\">both were married.
