My dear friend Melanie is devastated over the biggest relationship status change she heard about this past weekend. Facebook creator Mark Zuckerberg and long-time girlfriend Priscilla Chan married at their home in Palo Alto, CA with nearly 100 guests in attendance. (Yeah my friend has a huge crush on Mark…I know, I know…not sure what the fascination is but the man is a GENIUS. Gotta give him that.)
Interestingly, guests thought they were gathering for Chan’s recent medical school graduation but were surprised with a wedding ceremony. The couple met as undergrads at Harvard University in 2004. Zuckerberg who’s now 28 dropped out of college to work on Facebook, while Chan, a pediatrician stayed to earn her undergrad degree. Many didn’t even know the pair were engaged but we hear he proposed with a simple yet stunning ruby ring.
Other celebs who’ve opted for a ruby instead include Jessica Simpson.
If you’re a fan of colored gemstones too you might like these pretty ruby stud earrings and pendant set. A personal favorite and definitely an elegant way to make any outfit pop.
