D is for Diamonds

Diamonds seem to have been the underlying theme for the week. Most obvious ofcourse was our lovely Queen celebrating 60 years on the throne, plunging the country in to jubilee -ous jubilations. Britain went bunting crazy, 9,000 roads were closed for street parties and my oh my did the Pimms flow. Whether your a royalist, or just thankful for the extra days holiday, it really is a time when your proud to be British. On the other side of the pond were diamond celebrations of a different kind. Mark Zuckerberg the trillionaire and brains of Facebook married his long term girlfriend Pricilla Chan. It was a very low key affair, even the guests didn’t know they were attending a wedding. Until they caught a glimpse of Zuckerberg donning a suit and tie rather than his usual signature hoodie and jeans combo, they thought they were celebrating Pricilla’s graduation from medical school. The couple hosted a simple, no fuss ceremony, the bride walked down the aisle with her adorable sheepdog named Beast, in a dress from little know designer Claire Pettibone. They ate sushi and fairy lights lit up their understated venue, their back garden, which granted is probably more impressive than your average, but that’s not the point. The point is it was honest and perfect. It’s no secret that Zuckerberg is worth a fortune, but how refreshing to see a wedding where money is no object, when infact money wasn’t the object in this at all.
