Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi were married Saturday in a small ceremony at their home.
Approximately 20 people attended the wedding, including the women’s mothers, Degeneres’ mom, Betty, and di Rossi’s mom, Margaret, who flew in from Australia for the big event.
Ellen, 50, and Portia, 35, have been together since December 2004 and have been planning the wedding for months.
Both women wore Zac Posen, with Portia in a Cinderella-like pink dress and Ellen in white pants, vest and button-up shirt.
Ellen described Portia last year saying,
“She’s taught me lessons about myself, and I feel like I’ve taught her. We’ve both changed and grown, and we just feel like, ‘Oh, okay, this is completion.’”
Even back in 2005 she felt that she and Portia would be together forever.
“I never would have thought my life would have turned out this way. To have money. Or to have a gorgeous girlfriend. I just feel so lucky with everything in my life right now.”
That same year Portia told the Advocate,
“My feelings for Ellen overrode all of my fear about being out as a lesbian. That had never happened to me in my life, where I saw somebody and [experienced] all of those things you hear about in songs and read about in poetry. My knees were weak.”
Congratulations to the women!
