thank god this is on hacker news
Why? I mean, I know it's interesting to think about how you manage Facebook and a marriage at the same time, but this news doesn't seem god-thankingly urgent. EDIT: Ah, sarcasm. The bane of net conversations everywhere.
Edit: great handle too!
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.
Monday: she earned her MD.
Friday: Facebook goes public.
Saturday: they get married, to the surprise of their guests. [1]

The last week for Zuckerberg:
Monday: Girlfriend got M.D.
Tuesday: 28th birthday.
Friday: IPO.
Saturday: Married.
Amazing!
Earlier quoted context omitted.
I would marry someone I trusted to death and beyond, compared to which trusting with mere property is trivial. Yes, it's a risk... there's a saying about risk, though, isn't there? Let's give Mark the benefit of the doubt and assume he's marrying for love.
I would marry someone I trusted to death and beyond Of course, but as a rational being you ought to understand you are fallible, and may occasionally misplace trust, no?
Lots of aspects of marriage, and society in general, don't stand up to rational scrutiny. We're not just fallible, we're downright wooey. That doesn't mean these institutions are valueless or predatory—just that the human experience is not primarily about the rational.
I could see this one either way. Maybe if you're a billionaire, the prenup makes it clear you're marrying for love rather than profit. From down here in the sub-sub-sub-billionaire world, it doesn't look that way, but who knows? Lots of things are different "at scale."
