The Totally Awkward Bit of Dancing Gets Real and Elegant
A real cause to hit the music.
Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi, 35, will wed this weekend in California, Usmagazine.com has learned exclusively.
The pair are planning a small, intimate ceremony with only a few close friends and family.
Following the California Supreme Court’s monumental ruling that same sex couple’s have the “right to marry,” DeGeneres announced she planned to wed her longtime girlfriend on a taping of her show in May.
“It’s something that we’ve wanted to do and we want it to be legal and we are very, very excited,” DeGeneres, 50, gushed.
DeGeneres reflected on their upcoming nuptials at the Daytime Emmy Awards in Hollywood in June.
“I think someday people will look back on this like women not having the right to vote and segregation and anything else that seems ridiculous that we don’t all have the same rights,” DeGeneres said.
Of the preparations, DeGeneres joked, “Planning a wedding is very stressful. It’s crazy. My gardener is now invited.”
Nothing sarcastic, not even with the congratulations. Although, whose dreams are shattered by this marriage anyway? The only thing I can think that will happen is that now, both women AND men will love Ellen.
