Just in case you were interested in knowing more about the 27-year-old med school grad who got the Facebook billionaire to put a ring on it, here are some tidbits about the new Mrs. Zuckerberg, aka Priscilla Chan.
- Her ivory, laser-cut wedding gown was by designer Claire Pettibone and retails for $4,700. It is available on Pettibone's website.
- A self-proclaimed "simple creature," Chan, a Chinese-American, was born in the Boston suburb of Braintree, Mass. Her Facebook page says: "i like the food network, warm places, sun dried tomatoes and diet a&w."

Ms Chan, 27, was born in the suburbs of Boston, Massachusetts, just a few miles away from her future alma mater, Harvard University. Ms Chan, or Cilla as she refers to herself on Facebook, met Zuckerberg at Harvard in 2003, whilst waiting in a queue to use the bathroom. Years later she would recall her first impression of the man she would eventually marry as “he was this nerdy guy who was just a little bit out there.”

After graduating from Harvard in 2007, Chan moved from the east coast to the west where she worked as a science teacher at The Harker School in San Jose, California. In 2008 she went on to study medicine at the University of California, San Francisco. During her time here she moved in to a rented house with Zuckerberg in the small town of Palo Alto, just minutes away from Facebook’s headquarters. Since moving in together the couple have adopted a Hungarian Sheepdog called Beast.

Ms Chan is an open supporter of President Barack Obama and gay marriage and intends to specialise as a paediatrician after graduating from the University of California last week.

She says she enjoys “simple things” in life and in her spare time Ms Chan listens to contemporary rock bands such as Green Day, the Red Hot Chilli Peppers and John Mayer. She also lists Glee, House, Modern Family and Project Runway as some of her favourite TV shows. When Chan is able to prise Zuckerberg away from his $104 billion company the two spend time walking in parks, rowing, and playing bocce (a form of boules).

It’s believed the couple didn’t sign a prenuptial agreement before Saturday’s marriage.

- The two met at Harvard, where he offered her a job at Facebook. She described him as "this nerdy guy who was just a little bit out there."
- They played Michael Jackson music at their wedding reception.
- The fewer than 100 guests at the wedding were surprised to be at a wedding. They thought they were attending a party to celebrate Chan's graudation from he University of California, San Francisco School of Medicine, where she studied pediatrics.
- Before they wed, the two agreed to some ground rules about their life together, including: "One date per week, a minimum of a hundred minutes of alone time, not in his apartment and definitely not at Facebook."


A new brand of billionaire Bride

Shortly after Mark Zuckerberg tied the knot with longtime girlfriend Priscilla Chan on Saturday, the Twitter jesters came out of the woodwork.

“Mark Zuckerberg has changed his status to ‘Married’,” read one iteration of a popular joke. “Priscilla Chan has changed hers to ‘Jackpot’.”

It seems, though, that the wedding’s timing had little to do with the $16 billion blockbuster Facebook IPO the day before. It wasn’t the social network’s flotation Zuckerberg was waiting for — it was Chan’s medical school graduation, at least according to a guest authorised to speak for the couple. 

“The wedding had been planned for months and the couple was waiting for Chan to finish medical school, but the date of the IPO was a ‘moving target’ not known when the wedding was set.”

The Monday before the public offering, the same day Zuckerberg turned 28, he was in the audience at Chan’s UCSF School of Medicine commencement ceremony. He ‘checked in’ via Facebook, natch, at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, writing: “I’m so proud of you, Dr. Chan :).”

Dr. Chan was never going to be a stereotypical billionaire’s wife of the many-spouses-of-Donald-Trump variety. The 27-year-old bilingual Mandarin speaker graduated from Harvard in 2007, the year after Zuckerberg would have earned his degree if he hadn’t left to focus on Facebook — or thefacebook, as it was then known.

The two dated on and off during their undergrad years, first meeting in 2004. After Harvard, Massachusetts native Chan spent two years teaching science at the prestigious Harker School in San Jose before beginning her medical studies at UCSF, one of the top programs in the country. She only moved into Zuckerberg’s $7 million Palo Alto pad in 2010.

Chan wasn’t always so certain that she wanted a career in medicine, though — at least according to a 2005 Harvard Crimson article currently making the rounds on social media. Published when Zuckerberg announced he’d be leaving Harvard, the piece includes a brief mention of Chan:

''“Hey Priscilla, do you want a job at the facebook?” Zuckerberg asked a passing friend.

“I’d love a job at facebook,” Priscilla Chan ’07 responded, offering him a Twizzler.''

A job at the social network never materialised, but Chan still wields an influence over Zuckerberg’s work. It was her passion for pediatrics and concern for sick children she met during her training that prompted her now-husband to add an organ donation registry tool to Facebook. As Zuckerberg told ABC’s Robin Roberts earlier this month: “[Priscilla will] see them getting sicker and then all of a sudden an organ becomes available and she comes home and her face is all lit up because someone’s life is going to better because of this.”

Contrary to the golddigger jokes pervading Twitter, Chan won’t be retiring to start a jewelry line or other such vanity project now that she and Zuckerberg are official. She aims to begin her work as a pediatrician later this year.

Chan joins a group of Silicon Valley billionaire spouses who are achievers in their own right rather than kept women or arm candy.

Laurene Powell Jobs earned an economics degree at Wharton then put in time at Goldman Sachs and Merrill Lynch before completing a Stanford MBA the same year she married the late Apple mogul Steve. She’s the co-founder of natural foods company Terraverra and education nonprofit College Track, and a mother of three. She also serves on the boards of the New America Foundation and Teach for America.

Anne Wojcicki, wife of Google billionaire Sergey Brin, has a degree in biology from Yale and co-founded biotech firm 23andMe, a genetic testing company that gives customers an analysis of their DNA for a relatively affordable price.

Then there’s Melinda Gates, the ultimate power partner. The former Melinda Ann French earned undergrad and MBA degrees from Duke before joining a young computer company called Microsoft in the late ’80s. She helped develop well-known products like the Encarta encyclopedia and the Expedia booking tool — and met the man she’d eventually marry, Bill Gates. Since, she’s taken the lead with the couple’s Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and earned a reputation as one of the world’s foremost philanthropists.
