Portia de Rossi and Ellen DeGeneres Tie Gay Knot

Aug 17, 2008 at 9:27am

Happy couple Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi, together since 2005, embraced their love, and the new same-sex marriage law, and were wed Saturday evening at their Beverly Hills estate.

With friends and family in an intimate ceremony of 30, the sacred union was finally made legal at 6:30 p.m. in a balmy August breeze. Ellen has joke that Justin Timberlake had been enlisted to belt out a few tunes, but no celebrity guests were spotted entering the luscious DeGenere-de Rossi compound.

However, sparkle power was still in full attendance, embodied by the dazzling smiles of the blushing brides, and de Rossi’s Neil Lane-designed, marquise-cut pink diamond.

Ellen, 50, and Portia, 35, have been together since 2004, hookin’ up shortly before de Rossi officially came out of the closet. The Australian actress used to swing the other way, as she was married for two years to documentary filmmaker Met Metcalfe.

Ellen came out way back in ’97. Her long-term relationship with koo-koo actress Anne Heche was the talk of the town—until Anne decided she was soooo over girls! 

Now El and P have finally found true love! The world wishes them happiness for, *cross your fingers*, the rest of their lives! How fun would Ellen be as a wife? The laughs would never stop! Plus, Portia was downright hilarious in Arrested Development

Ellen plans to air part of the ceremony on her daytime talk show. Be sure to tune in!
