# Mark Zuckerberg&#8217;s totally offbeat wedding

We don&#8217;t normally cover current events, but I can&#8217;t help but be all tickled by the news trickling out from Mark Zuckerberg &amp; Priscilla Chan&#8217;s totally nontraditional wedding yesterday. A few distinctly offbeat details:
&nbsp;

Backyard wedding (they totally just got married at their own house)
Surprise wedding (guests thought they were showing up to celebrate Priscilla&#8217;s graduation from medical school)
Short engagement (they&#8217;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&#8217;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&#8217;t get me wrong: I love moon marriages!)
