Ellen And Portia Get Married!!

It's official! One of my all time favorite comedians, Ellen DeGeneres and long time girlfriend, Portia De Rossie tied the knot on Saturday! The wedding took place at their $33 million Beverly Hills mansion in front of just 19 friends and family as well as crew for The Ellen DeGeneres Show. Their rep confirmed the news to People by saying, "Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi were married tonight in an intimate ceremony at their home in Los Angeles."

Ellen and Portia have been together since December of 2004 and when the California same sex marriage laws were changed earlier this year, Ellen publicly announced on her show back in May that she and Portia would be getting married. Apparently they didn't waste any time because three months later, here they are staying true to their word! Both ladies wore ensembles by the amazing Zac Posen and exchanged diamond rings by Neil Lane.

I'll be honest, there was a time in my life where I would have been against this sort of thing. Over the past couple of years however, my feelings on this have shifted and I have just come to the conclusion of whenever you can find love, hold on to it. It's not as common as people make it out to be and if you have something real, just consider yourself lucky. There are a lot bigger fish to fry than worrying about banning a couple's marriage. Life's too short for hate. So while I may not understand this sort of thing, I am content with the fact that I don't need to and I do have to say that I am very happy for them. Ellen and Portia seem very happy together and I wish them all the congratulations and blessings in the world.
