The past few days have been big days for romance here in the Silicon Valley.

Almost immediately after the Facebook IPO, billionaire Mark Zuckerberg married his long-time girlfriend, Priscilla Chan. Sure, he may have waited until the day after the IPO in order to protect his money from California’s communal property law, but nobody can say the backyard ceremony wasn’t sweet and sentimental.

Hot off the heels of Zuck’s nuptials, there was yet another Facebook wedding; long-time employees Christina Holsberry and Paul Janzer tied the knot in front of several other Facebook-ers. Check out the list below for three more of Silicon Valley’s power couples.

1. David Goldberg and Sheryl Sandberg – SurveyMonkey + Facebook

This duo may give Zuck and his bride a run for their money. David is currently the CEO at SurveyMonkey, after working at high-level positions at Yahoo! and Benchmark Capital. Sheryl should need no introduction – she is the COO at Facebook and has been named of the 100 most influential people of 2012 by TIME magazine. The couple has been married for nine years. (more…)

You know what’s cooler than $104 billion dollars? Mark Zuckerberg getting married.

Sorry, ladies: Mark Zuckerberg has changed his relationship status to “Married.” He wed his longtime girlfriend Priscilla Chan today, and posted this picture to (where else?) his Facebook Timeline.

As far as we can tell based on this picture, his wedding suit does NOT have a hoodie attached, but if he starts suffering from withdrawal, he can probably borrow Priscilla’s veil:

Also no word yet on how much the catering cost, but there were only about 100 guests at his home in Palo Alto, so Zuck probably hasn’t spent all of his IPO cash quite yet.

According to a source that talked to the AP, the Facebook CEO gave his new bride a “very simple ruby” ring.

Spotted: Mark Zuckerberg. Wednesday night at the Peninsula Creamery munching on a burger and fries.  He was there with an older man–maybe his father?  Our friend tells us a news truck approached him but he refused to talk to them.

 

Speaking of Facebook, the company will be ringing in the IPO with an all-night hackathon most likely Thursday night reports All Things D.

 

Peter Thiel, Scooter Braun, Kevin Hartz, Keith Rabois and Ashton Kutcher will all be at the same event this weekend: the NextGen conference, an event that brings together “young, rockstart people” with the more experienced.

No one needs to tell you that jobs are hard to find and that it’s hard for young grads to make ends meet.

But cities across the U.S. have different job opportunities and costs of living, so an informed move can make a big difference.

The Atlantic put together a list of the best places for college grads, based on eight variables, including employment rates, average salaries, availability of rental housing and public transportation: Best Places for New College Grads, 2012.

The San Francisco area tops the list, with Silicon Valley close behind.
