Ellen DeGeneres marries Portia de Rossi!

Congratulations to the sweetest married lesbians in the world!

Ellen DeGeneres is now a wife to Portia de Rossi, and Portia de Rossi is now a wife to Ellen DeGeneres.

This past weekend, on Saturday night the celebrity couple tied the knot in the very intimate ceremony in their LA home.

The couple had been dating since December 2004 and Ellen announced that she would marry Portia after gay marriages were legalized in California.

Ellen and Portia both wore Zac Posen and their wedding was attended by 19 guests, one guest was there for sure. Yes, it’s Justin Timberlake. He supposedly performed a love song to the newlyweds.

The comedian-actress couple has been dating for about four years and has been open about their relationship, appearing at red carpet events in Hollywood together. After the California Supreme Court’s ruling in May, DeGeneres announced her plans to wed de Rossi, the former Ally McBeal actress, on her talk show.

In January 2005 de Rossi showed off a 3-carat diamond ring set on a pink pavé band DeGeneres presented to her for their upcoming nuptials when the pair attended the Daytime Emmy Awards together.

Back in Australia, where de Rossi comes from, a gay rights advocate said it was shameful the Federal Government would not recognize the couple’s legal status.

“Every time DeGeneres and de Rossi visit de Rossi’s family in Australia, their rights, protections and status as a married couple will cease to exist,” Australian Marriage Equality national convener Peter Furness said.

Independent polling showed almost 60 per cent of Australians supported same-sex marriage, Mr Furness said.
