The Wedding I Anticipated Most This Summer (Besides My Own, Of Course)
August 22nd, 2008 @ 5:19 pm by Mrs. Gingerbread
Ellen DeGeneres & Portia de Rossi wed on August 16th with a small ceremony at their home.
Check out Ellen’s hilarious announcement of her wedding that she has on her website. She also has a few more pictures there.
For more coverage of Ellen and Portia’s wedding, see the latest issue of People.
In addition, Ellen will be showing her viewers more behind-the-scenes wedding footage when her show returns to the air early next month. I can’t wait! 
Congratulations to Ellen & Portia and to all the other same-sex couples that are tying the knot in California (before the election that could make same-sex marriage illegal in the state). Here is wishing you a long and happy marriage!

How cute is she! I love seeing people get all giddy on their wedding day… I’ll definitely have to tune in!
OMgosh. What’s not to love about this wedding? That top picture was my fave of what I’ve seen. Not only are they adorably in love but the decor is fabulous. Love the centerpieces, the mismatched-yet matchy chairs and their matching blingy wedding bands. I also love that most of the coverage I’ve seen didn’t highlight that it was a LESBIAN wedding. It was just another fab celeb wedding. Hopefully that shows that times, they are a-changin’.
I never buy People, but I am going to buy this issue just to show support for Ellen & Portia (and, okay, to revel in the wedding pics!)
Yay for them and YAY for love!
Awww her letter brought tears to my eyes seeing the Mrs So happy for them!
awwww they both look great. what a beautiful couple!
I heart them. I got all giddy when I heard they just got married. So cute together!
I am a newlywed in California and just had to share something with all of you.
The marriage license here now says “Party A and Party B” instead of bride and groom. I’ve been in the process of changing my name and have had quite an interesting time! The Social Security office person said “hmmm, I have to have the director look at this. I’ve never seen one where the groom wasn’t first and it doesn’t even say bride and groom “. I said, “Isn’t it great that it doesn’t matter anymore?!” =) So, even though I have a groom, I still feel pretty special to have a Party A and Party B license - it’s pretty cool statement.
@beanchar: I never buy People either, but I just went to two stores and neither one had the new issue 
Must. Get. Copy.
That is a beautiful picture of them! I can’t wait to hear more about it
There is nothing in this world more beautiful than the joy on the faces of two people who are deeply in love. I hope they are blessed with many years of happiness, and that the morons in the state of California who don’t realize that love just IS don’t get the opportunity to besmirk that joy in the slightest.
er, meant “besmirch” not “besmirk” : )
I adore both of these women in their own right, and as a couple they are spectacular. Those photos are so great and they give me warm fuzzies! I’m so happy for them.
Happy happy happy day. Oh, happy day
I just got married to my partner of 6 years in California last week! Whoooooo hoooooooo!!!! Gettin’ Married!!!!!
So far, it’s been fab… I highly recommend it to all other states.
I heart them and am so happy they could get married. They are the sweetest couple.
Ahhh!! I LOVE them! Oh, I’m really really excited for them…and they look sooo happy! And GORGEOUS! 
yaaaayyyy!! they make me feel so warm and fuzzy such lovely portraits.
They are such an adorable couple. C. and I feel so lucky that we can get married in California where marriage is legal for all couples!
So endearingly sweet–I wish them lots of luck and lots of love. I always giggle whenever I see the episode of 30 Rock where Liz Lemon (aka Tina Fey) opines: “You can’t be gay for one person, unless you’re a woman and you meet Ellen.” And of course, Portia will always be Nelle from Ally McBeal, mostly because I never got into Arrested Development.
But seriously–yay for love conquering all!
the first picture is just so beautiful. I love Ellen so much. they really do make a wonderful couple!

About Me: I recently moved to Canada from Southern California. Trying to plan a wedding in a new city, not to mention a new country, is tough, but the fact that we can get legally married here more than makes up for it! The wedding will be an opportunity for most of our family and friends to see our new city for the first time so it will be both a wedding and a reunion. Besides my future wife, I am also madly in love with a good bargain, Swedish pastries, Tivo, and my two dogs and calico cat (in no particular order).
Yay! Happy happy LGBTQ weddings!
