So, the description kind of makes me like him a bit more. Same, intimate and not fame whorey at all. Plus she is a doctor!

A day after Mark Zuckerberg took his company, Facebook, public, the CEO updated his relationship status to "married."

Zuckerberg, 28, and his longtime girlfriend Priscilla Chan exchanged vows at a small ceremony in their backyard attended by less than 100 guests in Palo Alto, Calif., on Saturday.

Guests thought they were coming over for a surprise party to celebrate Chan's graduation from UCSF medical school, where on May 14 she received her degree in pediatrics. However, Zuckerberg and Chan had been planning the wedding for more than four months, according to a source authorized by the couple.

Zuckerberg designed Chan's wedding ring, a simple ruby sparkler, himself.

Guests dined family-style on food from the couple's favorite restaurants, Palo Alto Sol and Fuki Sushi. For dessert, they had Burdick Chocolate "mice" – whimsical chocolate treats made in the shape of mice – which the couple had on their first date.

The couple, who met while attending Harvard before Zuckerberg – who is now worth more than $19 billion – started Facebook, have been dating for nine years.

Zuckerberg, the subject of the movie The Social Network, had been in the news all week for the highly-anticipated stock offering of his company.

Well, not really, but, not strapless!

Sounds like a beautiful wedding. And what a way to end a huge week for him.

That's pretty sweet.

Pretty dress!

Good for them, I guess. The dress is pretty and sounds like a small, classy affair.

Glad to see he wore a suit, instead of a hoodie. Sounds like a nice wedding though, good for them.

Love her dress. I think it's kinda cool he married someone he was with before he made his millions too.

I was going to say this. Kind of nice that he didn't marry some random supermodel.

Lol. I had wondered if this would happen. Getting married after the IPO is a clean way to avoid any community property claims on his giant chunk of cash. Better than just a prenup.

The exact date of Facebook going public has never been set in stone. From what I've read, the wedding date had more to do with her med school graduation.

I love that she finished medical school even though she obviously won't be wanting for money.

Was she a character in the movie about him? I can't remember if she was mentioned or not.

Good for them though, I hope they are happy together.

I wonder if she'll practice.

Also, her dress is gorgeous!

Sounds like a lovely wedding.

I also think its awesome that he married someone he was with before he was rich & famous. Because really, you'd always wonder with anyone else if they just wanted you for your money.

I'm also curious to see if she practices medicine. I'm going to guess YES.

Me too. She went through all that work to get through med school, and a top notch med school at that.

I wonder if she'll do something Drs Without Borders-ish?

I can't remember if her exact name was used, but they did show him meeting and starting a relationship with a girl that seemed to be modeled after his actual GF.
