Facebook Founder
Mark Zuckerberg Gets Married on 19-05-2012
A day after Mark Zuckerberg took his company, Facebook, public, the CEO updated his
relationship status to "married."
Zuckerberg, 28, and his longtime girlfriend
Priscilla Chan exchanged vows at a small ceremony in their backyard attended by
less than 100 guests in Palo Alto, Calif., on Saturday.
Guests
thought they were coming over for a surprise party to celebrate Chan's
graduation from UCSF medical school, where on May 14 she received her degree in
pediatrics. However, Zuckerberg and
Chan had been planning the wedding for more than four months, according to a source
authorized by the couple.
Zuckerberg
designed Chan's wedding ring, a simple ruby sparkler, himself.
Guests dined
family-style on food from the couple's favorite restaurants, Palo Alto Sol and
Fuki Sushi. For dessert, they had Burdick Chocolate "mice" –
whimsical chocolate treats made in the shape of mice – which the couple had on
their first date.
The couple,
who met while attending Harvard before Zuckerberg – who is now worth more than
$19 billion – started Facebook, have been dating for nine years.
Zuckerberg,
the subject of the movie The Social Network, had been in the news all week for
the highly-anticipated stock offering of his company.
