Just In: Ellen and Portia's Wedding Embrace

Just In: Ellen and Portia's Wedding Embrace
Copyright 2008 / Flynet
Talk show host/comedian Ellen DeGeneres and longtime girlfriend Portia de Rossi took advantage of the California law that allows gay couples to wed on Saturday night in Los Angeles. 

The couple, who've been an item since 2004, were married in a small ceremony with just 19 close friends and family, according to People magazine. This despite Ellen's joke earlier this year at the Daytime Emmys that "the wedding is now so big my gardener is invited."

The pair wore ensembles by Zac Posen and exchanged rings by Neil Lane.

Hollywood.tv was outside the Los Angeles home where the high-powered celeb wedding took place, bringing you footage of buzzing paparazzi helicopters overhead as well as some guest arrivals.
