Mark Zuckerberg is now married :-)

Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg updated his status to
"married" on Saturday.

Zuckerberg and 27-year-old Priscilla Chan tied
the knot at a small ceremony at his Palo Alto,
Calif., home, capping a busy week for the couple.

Zuckerberg took his company public in one of
the most anticipated stock offerings 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.

The couple met at Harvard and have been
together for more than nine years.

A source authorized by the couple to speak
said Zuckerberg designed the ring featuring "a
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.

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 site, which was born in a dorm room eight
years ago, has grown into a worldwide network
of almost a billion people.

Zuckerberg founded Facebook at Harvard in
2004.

He was named as Time's Person of the Year in
2010, at age 26.

Zuckerberg grew up in Dobbs Ferry, N.Y.


Congrats to that 'Facebook Boy' ;-)
