  • The union come on the heels of Facebook’s historic IPO

(CNN) – A day after his social media company went public, Facebook co-founder and chief executive Mark Zuckerberg married his longtime girlfriend Priscilla Chan on Saturday.

The news was announced where else but on Facebook.

“Mark added a life event to May 19, 2012 on his timeline: Married Priscilla Chan,” the page‘s activity feed said.

Zuckerberg, 28, posted a simple wedding photograph, showing the couple against a backdrop of plants and small lights on a string.

Both he and Chan also updated their relationship status to “married.”

How to explain the Facebook flop?

Zuckerberg ditched his trademark hoodie, appearing in a dark suit and tie, while Chan wore a sleeveless white wedding dress with lace.

The pair met during Zuckerberg’s sophomore year at Harvard University, where he first nursed Facebook as a dorm-room project.

Chan graduated this year from medical school at the University of California, San Francisco, according to her Facebook page.

The marriage comes just one day after the company, based in California, made its market debut.

Its initial public offering was the biggest opening ever for a tech company and the third-largest IPO in U.S. history, behind onlyVisa and General Motors.

ABC World News gains on NBC Nightly

The television industry has been abuzz about ABC’s ongoing success against NBC in the morning show ratings wars. ABC’s Good Morning America beat out NBC’s Today show in weekly ratings for the first time in 16 years last month, and pulled off the feat twice again since.

But ABC is also making gains on the nightly news front. Last week, the network’s “World News with Diane Sawyer” closed the gap with “NBC Nightly News” to halve the margin from one year ago, putting NBC’s lead at its narrowest since 2009. Robin Roberts’ interview with President Obama last week certainly aided ratings, but ABC’s numbers show sustained progress for the network.

The conventional wisdom in TV news-land is that though NBC leads, ABC is biting at its heels. 30 Rock is still on top — “Nightly News” leads “World News” by over a million total viewers, in fact — but they’re certainly feeling that biting now.
