Ellen DeGeneres Marries Portia de RossiCouple married at intimate ceremony at their Beverly Hills home
The star of "Mr. Wrong" has tied the knot with her Mrs. Right.
According to People, Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi were married on Saturday (Aug. 16) evening at their home in Beverly Hills.
The magazine reports that the intimate ceremony was attended by only 19 guests, including DeGeneres' mother Betty and de Rossi's mother Margaret Rogers. The couple were both dressed by Zac Posen and exchanged rings by Neil Lane. They exchanged handwritten vows.
DeGeneres and de Rossi have been dating since December 2004. DeGeneres announced her intention to wed the "Arrested Development" star on her Emmy-winning talk show back May.
The ceremony came just over three months after the California Supreme Court's May ruling striking down a previous state ban on gay marriage.
Despite their legal recognition within the state, gay married couples still will be denied many federal rights and benefits that straight couples enjoy such as filing a joint federal tax return, Social Security benefits and veteran's benefits. A November ballot initiative -- which in California can supersede legislation and court decisions -- will seek to amend the state's constitution so that the ban on same-sex marriage can be reinstated.
