In a week of gay weddings, where are Derek and Orkut, Marissa Mayer's best boyfriends?

Google engineer Orkut Buyukkokten, the one behind the eponymous social network, has gotten engaged to boyfriend Derek Holbrook, Valleywag's youngest-ever tipster tells us. The two are shown here, in coordinated outfits, with fabulous friend Marissa Mayer, the Google executive who greenlighted Orkut's site. Will the two get married this week, now that the California Supreme Court has made it legal? No word yet, but if Mayer serves as witness, we hope she'll wear something a bit less flashy. No one — not even Marissa — shows up the grooms at their own gay wedding. (Photo by Drew Altizer via SFluxe)

Evan Williams fails to have a Twitter-free wedding


The happiest day of your life ought to be free from workaday entanglements. But no one, apparently, has informed attendees at today's wedding of Sara Morishige, a designer and former recruiter at Google, and Evan Williams, the founder of Blogger and Twitter. Two guests, at least, have already sent Twitter "tweets" from the event. (The couple is seen here in a pre-Twitter photo from 2004 taken by Williams.)

A gay venture capitalist ties the knot

The Valley styles itself as gay-friendly. But how many queer venture capitalists can you think of?

After the jump, more on Chung and Burt's Valley links, and a photo of the wedding party. More »
