We “like” this! While Mark Zuckerberg was taking his company public on Friday, his then-bride-to-be, Priscilla Chan, was quietly putting the final touches on her wedding gown.

For her surprise Saturday nuptials, Chan wore designer Claire Pettibone’s “Sky Between the Branches” gown, an ivory laser-cut floral dress adorned with matte sequins lined in silk. The gown featured subtle cutouts in the overlay, plus an illusion jewel neckline, sheer back and chapel-length train. The dress retails for $4,700 and is available on Pettibone’s website.

“She wore it with such grace,” Pettibone tells PEOPLE of Chan. “Her gown seems to perfectly capture her personality — understated and elegant with a touch of sparkle. It’s a perfect blend of femininity and fashion.”

Pettibone, a Los Angeles-based designer, has also created wedding gowns for stars like Mad Men‘s Elisabeth Moss and American Idol‘s Tamyra Gray, and even designed a bridesmaid dress worn by Cameron Diaz.

Zuckerberg and Chan married in a small ceremony in their Palo Alto, Calif., backyard on Saturday. Guests thought they were coming over for a surprise party to celebrate Chan’s graduation from medical school, however, the couple had been planning the wedding for more than four months.

Love the fact they played it simple: the dress, the ring, the ceremony. That is why they will continue to be sucessful. Cheers!

Mark made sure that if this marriage didn’t work out, she wouldn’t walk away with 1/2 of his 19 Billion Dollars. That’s why he married her the day after FB went public.

Very pretty. And, it looks very comfortable, unlike some gowns that people are sewn into or need to hike up or yank down, etc… Wish them lots of happiness.

The dress is fine..

But I do hope he went at least all out on the ruby ring he designed.

Hopefully a Bumese pigeon blood red stone and Biiiiiiiig! LOL.
