(AP) PALO ALTO, Calif. - Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg has updated his status to "married."

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

Zuckerberg took his company public in one of the most anticipated moves 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 company spokeswoman said Zuckerberg designed the ring featuring "a very simple ruby" that he designed himself.

The ceremony took place in Zuckerberg's backyard before fewer than 100 guests, who all thought they were there to celebrate Chan's graduation.

When you have been together for nine years before you get married, you know each other very well and you know whether you should get married. This is not the "gold digger" or "trophy wife" scenario that we have seen so many times with rich people and celebrities.

I wish them well and hope that things work out for the best for them.

And I care because.....? He planned it this way so he could bolster his stock's image. However, facebook sucks, so he better enjoy it whilst he can. Leave this tabloid nonsense to TMZ.
