They have finally tied the knot and it's better this way, since this is what they've wanted for sometime now. They seem to have gotten it arranged fairly well, in the short length of time they had after the court ruling on same sex marriages. I'm sure that many other couples, made the same move before some other source, damaged the newly found freedom. Portia and Ellen, make it look so easy, when in fact it's been anything but easy. Today's world is changing and new ideas are being made.
"The whole afternoon seemed light-hearted." Wedding plans have been in the works for months. DeGeneres said she hoped she and de Rossi would be "together the rest of our lives." How do I feel about it? I obviously feel like it's long overdue". 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.
De Rossi, 35, wore a backless, light pink dress, and her hair in a loose updo. DeGeneres, 50, dressed in pants, button-up shirt and vest — all in white.
