Ellen and Portia tie the knot

Aug 18th, 2008 | By Bear | Category: This and That

Mazel tov to Ellen DeGeneres and Portia DeRossi, who got hitched over the weekend, and thanks to the recent California Supreme Court ruling that same sex couples have the right to wed, it was all nice and legal to boot.  The private ceremony took place at their home in Los Angeles with a small guest list, but with cameras present we can be sure that some highlights will feature soon, most likely on Ellen’s multi-award winning daytime talk show.  There are a few fuzzy photos out already, looks like someone might have been poking the lens through a hedge somewhere, I can report that they both wore white, and… that’s about it!  Ah, it’s not that important, there was a dress and a pants suit, you can probably guess who wore what…

 

 

Both the engagement and the upcoming nuptials have been discussed on Ellen’s show, which is a refreshing change from all those years ago when the coming out of her character on her sitcom (Ellen) allegedly led to the show being cancelled by network ABC not long afterwards.  As of today, the interweb does not seem abuzz with the news, I’m sure that Fox News will have something to say about it, but then it wouldn’t be any kind of fun if they didn’t object.  I know this is not a review, but still, I’m very happy, so Gaelick gives Ellen and Portia (DeGeneresdeRossi?) five big gay stars.  Congratulations!

  • HAL, ya fecker, I specifically came online to post “DeGeneRossi” but in a “I hope the couple thanks the kind attendees for their degenerossi gifts!” :D

    …alright that was a clanger. But hurrah for the happy couple and for the 5 stars! I think the media coverage was a little tamer than was to be expected over this event because it took place on the same weekend (perhaps the same day) that Michael Phelps won his 8th and record-breaking medal.
