According to reports Mark Zuckerberg’s recent wedding to long-time girlfriend Priscilla Chan was so secret that guests didn’t even know they’d been invited. Fewer than 100 people showed up at the Zuckerberg/Chan affair at the couple’s Palo Alto home under the impression they were celebrating Chan’s graduation– not her wedding. Chan even is reported to have purchased her wedding dress under an alias to avoid suspicion.

Since the event came as a surprise to just about everyone, most people probably didn’t have time to buy a wedding gift for the Zuckerbergs or a bachelorette party gift for Priscilla Chan. So just in case you want to get her something– we think these gifts would be perfect:

• Relationship Status Keychain: Mark Zuckerberg is now a billionaire and whether or not the couple signed a pre-nup doesn’t really matter. Priscilla is a part of the Facebook empire as well. Help her update her relationship status on or off Facebook with the cute Relationship Status Keychain, $16.99.
• Bride Rhinestone Hoodie: Few things are important enough to get Mark Zuckerberg out of his signature hoodie. Thankfully he did wear a suit for his wedding to Priscilla Chan, but we’re guessing now it’s back to the hoodie. Priscilla can embrace her husband’s laid-back style while also looking like a cute bride with the Bride Rhinestone Hoodie. It’s fully customizable and just $42.99. Choose from black or white– or if you’re a billionaire bride you may want to get both!

• Relationship Status Rhinestone Sash: Another way for Mrs. Zuckerberg to change her status is by wearing a cute Relationship Status Rhinestone Sash. While this one says engaged, it can be customized to say anything you want– including married! The sash sells for $18.99 and comes in six fun colors.

We wish the happy couple the best and hope that their relationship status forever says “married” on Facebook!

Show Your Support for Rachelle!

This is one of those shocking stories that we can’t quite believe is true.Twenty-five-year-old bride-to-be Rachelle Friedman was celebrating her upcoming wedding with friends in Virginia Beach last May. The bachelorette party turned tragic when her best friend jokingly pushed her into the shallow end of the pool. Rachelle hit her head on the bottom and was rushed to the hospital.

She’s now paralyzed and had to postpone her June wedding in order to qualify for Medicaid. The insurance coverage helps pay for ongoing treatment and therapy, but Rachelle says she’s still planning to get married to the love of her life, Chris Chapman. Rachelle describes the bachelorette party incident as “a freak accident.”

The website Gawker created a website for Rachelle so people can donate to her medical bills or offer up some encouragement. Visit RachelleFriedman.com if you want to help. We’re praying for you Rachelle!
