Mark Zuckerberg Movingly Congratulated His Wife on Their 20th Anniversary by Revealing the Secret of Their First Date

Do many rich people have access to the knowledge that they are loved for reasons other than money? We don’t think so. But Mark Zuckerberg was lucky. He met the love of his life at a time when he had no money and vague prospects. But that woman believed in him. And now she is his wife, his muse and the mother of their children.

20 years ago

“He was this nerdy guy who was just a little bit out there,” Chan told the New Yorker in 2010. The couple first met at Harvard University in 2003 while waiting in line for the bathroom at a party hosted by Zuckerberg’s fraternity. They decided to move in together in 2010, and two years later they surprised their guests by getting married in their backyard. The impromptu wedding took everyone by surprise, as they thought they were there to celebrate Priscilla’s graduation from medical school.

Last year, they commemorated their 10th wedding anniversary by reimagining the very photo taken on their wedding day a decade ago. Mark penned, ’’10 years married and half our lives together. Here’s to more adventures.’’

Their greatest treasure

Earlier this year, the Meta CEO was over the moon to become the father of three girls. He joyfully announced on social media that Priscilla gave birth to their third daughter on March 24, 2023.

The proud dad took to both his Facebook and Instagram to share heartwarming photos of his new baby daughter, capturing precious moments with both himself and his wife just after she entered the world. He wrote, ’’Welcome to the world, Aurelia Chan Zuckerberg! You’re such a little blessing.’’

The couple, already parents to 7-year-old Maxima and 5-year-old August, revealed the news of their third pregnancy in September. Mark shared a heartfelt photo of the two, his hand resting on Priscilla’s stomach, accompanied by the caption, ’Lots of love. Happy to share that Max and August are getting a new baby sister next year!’’

What a wild ride!

Mark paid a heartfelt tribute to his wife to mark two decades of love. He shared a nostalgic picture of their first year together and reflected on the story of how they first met. At the time, Mark had only a few days left before he was expelled from school.

“20 years since our first date. We met at a going away party my friends threw for me in college when they thought I was about to get kicked out of school. I asked her out but told her we’d need to go out soon since I might only have a few days left. Later on, I started Facebook, we got married, and now have three wonderful girls. What a wild ride,” he said.

Continuing the heartfelt celebration, Priscilla also penned a touching tribute to Mark. She is grateful for the way he still makes her laugh after two decades together. “20 years since our first date. He still makes me laugh constantly, and we are never short of wild adventures. And now we have 3 little ladies riding along with us!”

In each other they have found a kindred spirit. They spend their fabulous financial resources not on living the high life, but on changing the world. Many charitable foundations have been set up around the world under the couple’s leadership. They dream of giving the children of the future access to a good education. At the same time, they teach their children to live modestly, without excess.

There is a growing number of celebrities who would rather spend their money on changing the world than on their own needs. Many even prefer to leave no inheritance to their children, so that they can find their way without the help of parental wealth. And that, it seems to us, makes sense. What do you think?
