MANILA, MAY 22, 2012 (STANDARD) by AP -
A day after the historic Facebook IPO, founder and chief executive Mark
Zuckerberg updated his status Saturday to "married."

Zuckerberg wed 27-year-old Priscilla Chan, his girlfriend of nearly a decade,
according to a guest authorized to speak for the couple. The person spoke only
on the condition of anonymity.
The couple married at his Palo Alto, California home in front of fewer than
100 stunned guests who thought they would be attending a party to celebrate
Chan's graduation from medical school.
Zuckerberg gave his new bride a ring he had designed with a "very simple
ruby" to end an incredibly eventful week, according to the guest.
On Monday, Zuckerberg turned 28 and Chan graduated from the University of
California, San Francisco School of Medicine, where she'd studied pediatrics.

Then on Friday, Zuckerberg took his blue-and-white Web behemoth public in one
of the most anticipated stock offerings in Wall Street history.
The seemingly well-coordinated timing was largely a coincidence, the guest
said. The wedding had been planned for months and the couple was waiting for
Chan to finish medical school, but the date of the IPO was a "moving target" not
known when the wedding was set.
Attendees, including Facebook's chief operating officer Sheryl Sandberg, were
told after they arrived that they were not mere party guests but wedding guests.

"Everybody was shocked," the guest said.
The person would not discuss the names of others who attended to protect
their privacy.
Ditching his trademark hoodie and sneakers, Zuckerberg sported a dark blue
suit and tie with a white shirt for the ceremony, while Chan wore a traditional
white wedding dress with veil and lace.
Food was served family-style and included dishes from the couple's favorite
Palo Alto sushi restaurant.
