Married! Mark Zuckerberg ties the knot in secret ceremony

The couple have been together for nine years, but did not reveal their engagement

Mark Zuckerberg and 27-year-old Priscilla Chan tied the knot at a small ceremony at his home in Palo Alto, California, capping a busy week for the couple. Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong, right, was pictured arriving to play for the reception.


Mr Zuckerberg took his company public in one of the most anticipated stock offerings in Wall Street history on Friday. And Ms Chan graduated from medical school at the University of California, San Francisco, on Monday, the same day Zuckerberg turned 28.


Zuckerberg, 28, and Chan, 27, spent four months planning the wedding, but had not publicly revealed they were engaged.

The only announcement came after the event – and, of course, appeared on Zuckerberg’s Facebook page, where he posted a picture of himself and his new wife and changed his relationship status to ‘married’.

The day before the wedding, Facebook floated on the stock market and his fortune rose to £12billion.

But despite this, Zuckerberg’s nuptials remained relatively modest, with £7.50 meals of Mexican food from his favourite local restaurant for the guests, who numbered fewer than 100.
