That's a rather eventful 36 hour timeframe for Mark. I wonder what it all felt like?

Based on the picture, I'd guess "exhausting."

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.

This is one of the most disappointing threads I've ever seen on Hacker News.

I see a lot of posts regarding gold-digging and motives - and I just want to say that if there's one person you can marry knowing what their true intentions are, the only thing better than a college girlfriend is a high-school one :)

(Kinda like Mr and Mrs Obama)

If you're not on Facebook, it's just this pic. http://imgur.com/zxZkN

I have a Facebook account, I just refuse to login to it unless I want to actually access my Facebook account.

I first saw the news on CNN and groaned at the headline.

Yet, it seems to be fact.

I believe Zuck believes Facebook is the vehicle for these announcements and interactions, ergo his play. The announcement via FB is fair and true. I think it's a good move.

I'm disheartened to see it right after the IPO. It's rare a wedding happens overnight, let alone an IPO, so it feels deliberate to me.

And yet, given how blindsided they were with Beacon and its ilk, I can imagine the circumstance being nothing more than.

tl;dr: I don't understand Zuckerberg or Facebook.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Yeah, pressure from people who have authority to fire you. I don't think that's the case for Zuckerberg. "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." ( http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/47491836/ns/business/ ) Does anyone know what sort of recourse the minority shareholders and the other 44% voting…

Err... is it normal for there to be recourse? If you do not have a controlling interest, you do not have control. That's that. If you aren't comfortable with that, sell.

Shareholders may bring suit against an officer on behalf of a company. It is designed to protect minority investors against exactly the scheme Zuck has set up. The corporation is the benefactor of any damages to prevent abuse by shareholders.

People should be happy for Zuck and Pricilla. Any claims by those who don't know Pricilla that this is other than for love should really get a check-up on their humanity. Not that they'll ever read this, but congrads to them both.

Chan's ring featured only a "very simple ruby," a source authorized by the couple to speak told the AP.

That explains why she isn't smiling :) . Seriously people, smile for crying out loud. You know billions of people will see that picture over the years.
