When you’re in a relationship, there’s always the pressure of getting that special someone the perfect gift.

But if you’re billionaire Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, there’s the added pressure of having to splash out on something truly snazzy - in this case, though, he kept it simple with glasses of champagne.

To celebrate his 16th anniversary with longtime love Priscilla Chan, Zuckerberg celebrated by raising a glass with his wife. The anniversary wasn't to celebrate their wedding in XXX but their Harvard dating days 16 years earlier.

Zuckerberg, 35, shared a picture of their celebration on Instagram with his 5.4 million followers.

He captioned the selfie, “16 years ago today was one of the most important days of my life. Happy dating anniversary.” In the picture, he’s seen toasting his wife, 34.

Zuckerberg and Chan had a casual meet-cute in 2003, as they first laid eyes on each other when they were both in line for the bathroom at a party hosted by Zuckerberg’s fraternity, Alpha Epsilon Phi.

They were married in 2012. He acquired Instagram the same year, paying $1 billion.

He often takes to the platform he owns to post photos of himself with Priscilla and their two daughters.

He recently shared a picture of the couple of shots at the NASA Ames Research Center, as well as a photo of the family celebrating Halloween dressed as a garden.
