It's True: Ellen and Portia Married
Tuesday August 19, 2008
They did it! Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi wed over the weekend in a ceremony officiated by self-help guru Dr. Wayne Dyer. Only 19 guests attended the wedding. "What can I say? I'm the luckiest girl in the world," Ellen DeGeneres said to People magazine. What do you have to say to Ellen and Portia? Comment below.
People magazine will have a cover story on the wedding in the issue that hits stands on Friday.

Good for you! I dream everyday of getting that privilege. You both are amazing and I look up to your relationship. Ellen, you help everyone realize that we are just people too. We deserve our love to be recognized.
Congratulations!
Thank you Ellen and Portia for standing up for what you believe in and fighting for your love for each other. I hope and pray that one day my girlfriend Shannon and I to can have that privilege. God bless you both and have a wonderful life together.
Congratuations, ladies! It shouldn’t be strange or unusual that two adults in love can get married, but it is I. Our country. People who are out and wonderful, as you are, are the ones that brought about this change. Ellen, thank you for all that you have done to convince the world that gay people aren’t inherently evil, just by being your strong, witty self! I still remember where I was on the day you came out to the world. I wasn’t even sure I was a lesbian, yet, but some part of me must have known, because your coming out made a huge impact.
PS if you ever want a dog trainer on your show, or just need advice, give me a call.

LOOK AT YOU !!!!! Congratulations.
Congratulation to both of you. Hope one day my girl and I will be able to enjoy this memorable day. Love you Ellen. I enjoyed your show very much.
One more thing – it’s not luck, Ellen, you *earned* this and you deserve to be happy. We are all responsible for what we do in this world, and you have made great contributions at a tremendous personal sacrifice. I repeat, you *deserve* to be happy.
For the negative folks out there that may comment after me: could you, just this once, see that love is a good thing, and keep your angry comments to yourself?
Congratulations. I am so happy for you both. We all need the reminder that couples do stay together and weather the rough spots. We should all celebrate Love more. Thank you for being beautiful genuine people and for sharing (even briefly) your joyous moment with all of us.
You are BOTH lucky to have each other

Congratulations. I think you both deserve the best life has to offer. I am especially proud of you both because you lead good normal healthy lives and show the world that we are just people after all. I try to watch the Ellen Show daily because she never uses blue material and does so much to help others. Also because she is too hot to touch and so darn funny to boot. xoxo Sandra LA

CONGRATS!!! My partner of 11 years, Stacy, and I got married in Provincetown, MA 2 weeks ago…and we are thrilled that it’s now recognized in NY. We’ve considered ourselves to have been married for the last 10 years…but the legal thing really does make it feel different!
Congrats!!!! We have come a long way. Never thought I live to see the day we can marry.
Ellen thank you for all your sacrifices to help pave the way.
We are also getting married Labor Day Weekend
in Niagara Falls Ontario. We had it planned before Calif. and Mass. became legal. What pleases us is how many of our family and friends are traveling to join us on our special day.
Who would have ever thought..
Have a happy life together!!!!! Thank You

Congratulations ellen and portia! I wish you both more love and happiness, i am so happy that you finally did it!
I have a crush on Ellen because she’s super funny and I like her style. I’m happy she got married to her love. I wrote about her vegan wedding ceremony on my blog: http://catscows.blogspot.com/2008/09/ellens-vegan-wedding.html
First of all, hey Kathy. Thanks for the blog a few days ago.
I love Ellen. I watch her show like everyday! I was so happy when I heard about her and Portia getting married! Of course I heard her say it on her show…and the wedding was gorgeous. They are so adorable!
congrats! people should be able to be open about their sexual orientation. i didn’t and regretted the day i married my husband. i still can’t let him know about my true self. it’s too late as we had an autistic boy. i need him, he is like a friend only, i just can’t go on but had no choice.
so, learn from me… get out of your closet!
i am an asian, conservative and all… wish i could be an american or any place that allowed gay marriages.
so proud of ellen and portia. good for them. they had it all.. good life, jobs, nice house, got married… children some day??
