On what date did Steve Jobs marry Laurene Powell?

The story behind the answer

Steve Jobs married Laurene Powell on March 18, 1991.

The ceremony took place at the Ahwahnee Hotel in Yosemite National Park, California, and was conducted by the Zen Buddhist monk Kobun Chino Otogawa. Jobs and Powell had met in 1989, when Jobs gave a lecture at Stanford University, where Powell was a graduate student.

The couple remained married until Jobs’s death in 2011. They had three children together: Reed, Erin, and Eve. Jobs also had a daughter, Lisa Brennan-Jobs, from an earlier relationship.

The wedding date is sometimes mixed up with the year Jobs returned to Apple or with major Apple product announcements. March 18, 1991, specifically identifies the marriage of Jobs and Powell, rather than an event in his corporate career.
