We don’t normally cover current events, but I can’t help but be all tickled by the news trickling out from Mark Zuckerberg & Priscilla Chan’s totally nontraditional wedding yesterday. A few distinctly offbeat details:

• Backyard wedding (they totally just got married at their own house)
• Surprise wedding (guests thought they were showing up to celebrate Priscilla’s graduation from medical school)
• Short engagement (they’d only been planning for four months or so)
• Custom non-diamond ring (a ruby, with a setting designed by Zuck himself)
• No cake (they served chocolate mice, a nod to their first date)

It’s always an unexpected treat to see folks who could afford to get married on the moon opt for simple, down-home ceremonies. (But don’t get me wrong: I love moon marriages!)
