Mark Zuckerberg marries girlfriend Priscilla Chan

Facebook CEO and founder Mark Zuckerberg married his longtime girlfriend, Priscilla Chan, in a private wedding at his home in Palo Alto, California.

 Zuckerberg wrote about the big event in his life on his Facebook timeline, with a status update that read, “Married Priscilla Chan” on May 19. The couple met at Harvard and have been together for more than nine years.

Mark Zuckerberg also became a billionaire as a result of the Facebook IPO on Friday. He himself designed the wedding ring which was described as “very simple ruby.”

The ceremony took place in Zuckerberg’s backyard before fewer than 100 guests, who all thought they were there to celebrate Chan’s graduation.
