Mark Zuckerberg gets hitched

Priscilla Chan and Mark Zuckerberg

Mark Zuckerberg changed his relationsip status. The Facebook CEO married his longtime girlfriend Priscilla Chan yesterday.

Mark, 28, and Priscilla were married in a small, backyard ceremony in Palo Alto, California. The wedding was attended by less than 100 guests, who initially thought they were attending a surprise party for Priscilla's graduation from UCSF medical school. She graduated with a degree in pediatrics on May 14th. She knew all about the party, because the couple had been planning the wedding ceremony for more than four months. At the family-style dinner guests were served food from the couple's favourite restaurants, Palo Alto Sol and Fuki Sushi. Burdick Chocolate mice were served as a dessert, the newlyweds had eaten the mouse-shaped chocolate treats on their first date.
