I'm one of the people who can't see it. Usually we'd kill a submission on a FB page. Do you understand what's different this time? Honestly, the comments on this thread are such an embarrassment.

Not really. So did he get married or did someone hack Zuckerberg's account to change status to married, or is it a joke, or is it something entirely different? The title tells me nothing, and I should probably use a search engine to check what's actually going on. And if it turns out Zuckerberg simply got married, I just wasted my time researching celebrity gossip.

>I just wasted my time researching celebrity gossip.

you just wasted your time commenting on this topic. what's the difference?

"Researching" as if Hacker News isn't itself a form of entertainment and consumption. Let's not kid ourselves...

Is the difference you're implying the fact it's Mark Zuckerberg, the person whose company just went public and is a relatively famous Internet entrepreneur? I'm not trying to take a side, but I'm not sure which difference you're implying and which comments are an embarrassment. Could you expand?

My guess would be that it's due to the link pointing to the original source and the title being self explanatory.

As erdemozkan stated in a duplicate discussion: Mark married Priscilla one day after the IPO. That means they were waiting for IPO to get married. Sorry for asking a question that may seem obvious to others, but why were they waiting for the IPO? Is it for financial or legal reasons, such as a Community Property State? Did Zuckerberg sign a prenuptial agreement? An internet search implies he didn't. This reminds me o…

He didn't "wait until the IPO" according to people who knew, he waited for her to graduate. The timing of the IPO is very hard to predict given it requires sign off by the SEC, graduation on the other hand, pretty easy. I don't doubt for a minute that they have some sort of agreement in place in the event of a separation. While most might think such an agreement would benefit Mark, the real beneficiary are Facebook s…

So having someone you know (and knew) when you were just a crazy dreamer, and they still wanted to be with you, is a very priceless thing.

Amen. I agree, minus the prenup part though - I'm not cynical about Mark/Priscilla's love for each other because of your last sentence there, like I highly doubt that the Gates have that kind of arrangement either. As someone who's young, crazy, and laser-focused on the startup game, and still so far away from where I want to be in life, that's something that's in the back of my mind all the time whenever I'm seeing someone special. Thanks for the comment.

Congratulations Mark and Priscilla!

Frankly that's all that needed to be said. No talk about pre-nups, IPO's or Facebook. Just that a high profile, but obviously loving couple tied the knot. Makes me smile just thinking about it. Congratulations to them both as well.

Could I have some of that cheese for my sandwich?

You don't know them, I'm fairly confident. I don't know them. Almost no one here knows them. The single and only reason this has any relevance is because of Facebook, IPOs, from which a natural discussion is pre-nups, etc. Or are we to all pretend that we're pals?

It's inspiring for me that Mark went through such an incredible ordeal in the founding of Facebook but he was still able to make it work between him and Priscilla. It shows that you can have a relationship while also trying to change the world (and, hell, your partner may be what gets you through).

I cannot comment on the content at all because I can't access the submission. Pages submitted to HN should simply not be behind login walls, which is why I flagged this. This thread already has multiple references to the fact that you have to log in to see the submitted post. There are many HN users without a FB account. For them, the headline of the submission cannot be verified by clicking on the link. Although the…

A moderator replacing the FB link with an accessible link would have solved the issue for me. I didn't ask for deletion.

My vote is for updating the HN guidelines to discourage submissions behind login walls.

Congrats Zuck and Priscilla!

I don't understand some of the materialistic comments (prenups etc.) on this thread. Zuck marrying his long time love is a beautiful blessing. PG, I'd met Zuck after you had invited him to your startup school 2007 and since then have interacted with him. He also kept his word on followups he'd announced during his talk then. He is such a humble person despite all his successes. I'm so happy for him.

Ok. In what way is this Hacker News?

Founder drops out, amasses nearly unimaginable legitimate wealth comparable to Gates' theft, then marries for love to an accomplished and attractive partner. His story so far should inspire any nerd going through the Startup Pit of Despair.
