Congrats, Portia and Ellen!
By Never teh BrideI’m not one to cry at weddings, and I’m especially not one to cry at the mere mention of a wedding, but I’ll tell you truly that I did tear up just a little when I saw this photograph.
Forget the fact that it’s such a damn fine photo — lucky celebrities, looking gorgeous 95% of the time — and think about how far things had to advance for us to even be seeing it. Yes, we still have a quite ways to go before gay couples can enjoy all of the advantages of legal matrimony, but pics like this are a testament to the fact that things are moving forward.
Now, for the deets. The 20- person affair took place on the grounds of de Rossi and DeGeneres’ Beverly Hills home. Both brides wore designs by Zac Posen…de Rossi in a beautiful cream and pink halterneck gown, and DeGeneres in a cream ensemble of vest, shirt, and pants. The happy couple sat on pillows while exchanging rings created by Neil Lane before they sat down to an all-vegan meal followed by a vegan red velvet cake.
I wish both of them all of the happiness the world has to offer!
Thanks for finding and...

De Rossi is absolutely gorgeous! I never thought I’d like the looks of one of those floofy tutu skirts.

I hope they share many happy years.

Aww…that photo is gorgeous! I’m so happy for those two. I wish them many happy years together.
And knowing Ellen’s love for dancing, I bet that was one seriously kick-ass reception!

That really is a beautiful photo. And I love their wedding clothes, so well done. And Portia doesn’t look too skinny! I adore her from Arrested Development, and I hated seeing her look underweight to the point of illness. She’s a very talented comedian herself.

Woh, Portia looks so incredibly beautiful in this. Audrey, totally agree with you – I’m not one for puffy skirts, but she looks AMAZING!
