About Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan’s marriage
According to reports, Mark Zuckerberg was in his sophomore year and Priscilla was a freshman when they first met. They reportedly met while waiting in line for the bathroom at Mark’s fraternity party at Harvard University in 2003. In Mark’s opening address at Harvard University, the Facebook founder shared that meeting Priscilla at the party was the best memory of his time at Harvard University.
He said:
But my best memory from Harvard was meeting Priscilla. I had just launched this prank website Facemash, and the ad board wanted to see me. Everyone thought I was going to get kicked out. My parents came to help me pack. My friends threw me a going away party. As luck would have it, Priscilla was at that party with her friend. We met in line for the bathroom in the Pfoho Belltower, and in what must be one of the all-time romantic lines, I said: “I’m going to get kicked out in three days, so we need to go on a date quickly.”
In May 2012, the couple got married in a surprise outdoor wedding in front of family and friends, the same day they celebrated Priscilla’s graduation from medical school. In December 2015, the couple welcomed their first child Maxima Chan Zuckerberg.
