Mark Zuckerberg married

<p><pre><code> The last week for Zuckerberg: Monday: Girlfriend got M.D. Tuesday: 28th birthday. Friday: IPO. Saturday: Married. </code></pre> <a href="http://twitter.com/#!/gizmosachin/status/204032145591767040" rel="nofollow">http://twitter.com/#!/gizmosachin/status/204032145591767040</a><p>Amazing!

For the HN crowd that likes random behind-the-scenes details:<p>In the photo, the sun is low and behind them. This makes great rim light--and looks fantastic through the veil--but it also means you need to use strobes or a reflector to light their faces.<p>It's probably a reflector, gold side up, something like this: <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/justin_fotog/6018934549/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/justin_fotog/6018934549/</a><p>They're <i>super</i> glare-y to look at; it's kind of hard to keep your eyes open and make any kind of normal face...

Congratulations Mark and Priscilla!

I see a lot of posts regarding gold-digging and motives - and I just want to say that <i>if</i> there's one person you can marry knowing what their true intentions are, the only thing better than a college girlfriend is a high-school one :)<p>(Kinda like Mr and Mrs Obama)

Man, this kid is having the time of his life right now. How can any guy beat IPO + married in two days? Good for him, and take that vacation while you still can!<p>From what I hear, the pressure starts to build when your a public company. Those quarterly earnings should be interesting.

As erdemozkan stated in a duplicate discussion: <i>Mark married Priscilla one day after the IPO. That means they were waiting for IPO to get married.</i><p>Sorry for asking a question that may seem obvious to others, but <i>why</i> were they waiting for the IPO? Is it for financial or legal reasons, such as a Community Property State?<p>Did Zuckerberg sign a prenuptial agreement? An internet search implies he didn't. This reminds me of Tom Leykis' advice that everyone have a prenup, for many reasons. On the other side, some spouses have created companies by divorcing a business owner and taking half of the company.<p>How has Mark Zuckerberg protected his ownership of Facebook from his marriage? How would you?<p>[1]<a href="http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3997659" rel="nofollow">http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3997659</a>

If you're not on Facebook, it's just this pic. <a href="http://imgur.com/zxZkN" rel="nofollow">http://imgur.com/zxZkN</a>

I guess his girlfriend finally got tired of seeing wedding ads every time on Facebook.

Ok. In what way is this Hacker News?

This thread really is an embarrassment. Ugh.

When I look at Mark, it's hard for me to look at him as a regular human being, he has so much people under his position I tend to forget guys like him can also get married and laugh about small jokes. With that much money, how do you get to trust anyone?, how do you talk to new friends knowing they're telling you the truth. That's why I think he's some kind of cyborg. Well I wish him good, and I think he's made a great decisions by still keeping facebook under his control.

Wow, what a week for the two of them!<p>Monday: she earned her MD.<p>Friday: Facebook goes public.<p>Saturday: they get married, to the surprise of their guests.

thank god this is on hacker news

This really stimulates my intellectual curiosity.

Did they also hack this to autopost to Facebook?

I'm kinda disappointed that he didn't wear his trademark hoodie to the wedding like the way he did to the IPO roadshow. :/

Regardless of your individual opinion of Zuckerberg, it is really sad that this thread contains comments outside of "Congratulations". He is a large part of tech whether you like it or not, and should be considered a peer that merits nothing but support on his special day.

&#62; You must log in to see this page.<p>Fail.

I wonder how thick the stack of pre nup papers are.

People should be happy for Zuck and Pricilla. Any claims by those who don't know Pricilla that this is other than for love should really get a check-up on their humanity. Not that they'll ever read this, but congrads to them both.

The title is fine, I had no trouble understanding it. The ambiguity of "married" did not lead me to believe that Mark acted as officiant in a wedding ceremony, nor did the open-ended past tense of of the term lead me to believe that Mark was married 150 years ago. If you can't access the page that the link points to, and are really concerned about the truthiness of the title, then there's this website called google.com that makes finding answers fairly simple. If you think that this is celebrity gossip and that searching for the truth would be a waste of time, then don't...

they married because she finished med school, not because of the IPO.

The photos are not tagged! shame on you Mark!

Congratulations Mark and Priscilla!!!<p>ps. He is wearing a suit to honor HIS WOMAN. He is showing her that he can suit up for her

Sorry but... how is this relevant?

That's a rather eventful 36 hour timeframe for Mark. I wonder what it all felt like?

Whether it's rational or not, this makes me like Zuckerberg a lot more. It seems like a good way to keep your head focused on what matters, to marry the same week that your company goes public.

This is very off-topic, but then again, the entire thread more or less is. So with that disclaimer: does anyone else think he looks like a much, much slimmer, younger Michael Caine?

Place 1 on the front page of hacker news? WTF?

Perhaps it's the British in me, but yawn.

Mazel Tov to Mark &#38; Priscilla .<p>Nice simple way to have a wedding.

You know how I know he's in love? He put on a tie.

Hope and wish that relationship will not go up and down and severe hiccups like Stock Shares.

If I were Mark I would proceed to run the company into the ground. Just for fun.

I think he just needed some financial security before he settled down.

"in front of a very small number of family and friends, around 100."<p>indeed...

When/How/Why did HN turn into an entertainment gossip site?

I cannot comment on the content at all because I can't access the submission.<p>Pages submitted to HN should simply not be behind login walls, which is why I flagged this.<p>This thread already has multiple references to the fact that you have to log in to see the submitted post. There are many HN users without a FB account. For them, the headline of the submission cannot be verified by clicking on the link.<p>Although there is a large intersection between the two groups of HN and FB users, you don't have to be signed up with any other webservice in order to use HN. This is not only about FB. As a matter of principle posts to HN should be accessible for all HN users without requiring them to sign up with any other webservice.<p>However, this is up to PG and the HN community. It would be good if PG provided a guideline whether submissions behind login walls are accepted or not.

<i>Chan's ring featured only a "very simple ruby," a source authorized by the couple to speak told the AP.</i><p>That explains why she isn't smiling :) . Seriously people, smile for crying out loud. You know billions of people will see that picture over the years.

Zuckerberg,congratulations

tl;dr<p>On the heels of his decision to accept the public's money, Mark Zuckerberg ensures for himself a future tax break.

He's not too smart is he? Married in CA right when the money starts rolling in. HALF! I hope he has a good prenup.

I wonder how many mistresses he is allowed?

Off topic. If you're bored:<p>insanitology.com<p>[just a few funny interesting vids]

Can you imagine if Mark had married a man? Now THAT would have been interesting, if only for the media reaction. Now trying to guess who would have been the perfect husband for him... :)

I first saw the news on CNN and groaned at the headline.<p><a href="http://cl.ly/0S0Q1D1D2c1y1I42393B" rel="nofollow">http://cl.ly/0S0Q1D1D2c1y1I42393B</a><p>Yet, it seems to be fact.<p>I believe Zuck believes Facebook is the vehicle for these announcements and interactions, ergo his play. The announcement via FB is fair and true. I think it's a good move.<p>I'm disheartened to see it right after the IPO. It's rare a wedding happens overnight, let alone an IPO, so it feels deliberate to me.<p>And yet, given how blindsided they were with Beacon and its ilk, I can imagine the circumstance being nothing more than.<p>tl;dr: I don't understand Zuckerberg or Facebook.
