(The Blaze/AP) — Mark Zuckerberg has updated his Facebook status to “married,” literally.
The 28-year-old Facebook founder and CEO has wed longtime girlfriend, 27-year-old Priscilla Chan, capping a busy week for the couple. His Facebook profile page showed the two married Saturday and included a photo of the newlyweds.

Zuckerberg took his company public in one of the most anticipated moves in Wall Street history Friday, and Chan graduated from medical school at the University of California, San Francisco, on Monday – the same day Zuckerberg turned 28.
Even after the IPO, Zuckerberg remains Facebook’s single largest shareholder with 503.6 million shares, and he controls the company with 56 percent of its voting stock.
The ceremony took place in Zuckerberg’s backyard before fewer than 100 guests, who all thought they were there to celebrate Chan’s graduation.

While details of the event are scarce, a company spokeswoman said Zuckerberg designed the ring himself to feature “a very simple ruby.”
The move already has more than 200,000 “likes” on Facebook.

Posted on May 19, 2012 at 11:28pmAgreed. Pretty pathetic group of people who have to comment negatively on a marriage in which they have no vested interest or knowledge of the actual people. True character or lack thereof always shows itself given enough time.

Posted on May 20, 2012 at 12:46amFor most of us, marriage is more than about money and sex. Get over yourself. Living together is mocking God. I’m sure he married her because he is in love. She is a doctor now, she wouldn’t need his money anyhow, so I’m sure she married him for love too. How sad that you cannot see the sanctity of a committed relationship, making it right before God.
Report Post »epicwinofgod
Posted on May 20, 2012 at 4:56pmThat’s right. When a man marries a woman, he commits her and himself to God. Hence the “bridegroom”. Not only does a man give his wife to God, he gives himself. Some don’t recognize the bridegroom and only groom, this is untrue. For any man hung up on his own image, will find that God made woman out of man, hence he is mindfully making himself either. Makes me giggle when I think about it.

Posted on May 19, 2012 at 10:53pmAh, the psychology of this.
Zuck looks like he is trying to wash his hands clean of his creation, Facebook.
Simultaneously trying to destroy and create in the same week.
To sell-out and move on. Leaving the rest to the vultures.
I don’t blame him. Facebook has jumped the shark and is now an official tool of the tools who want and need to officiate over communications and inter-personal expressions, thoughts and political rebellion. This is no racket for a kid.
This is good news.
Cheer to, Zuck
