Ellen And Portia Reveal (Some Of) Their Wedding Plans
Ellen DeGeneres may have won the Daytime Emmy award for Best Talk Show Host last night but that wasn’t the only reason she was all smiles on the red carpet and inside the Kodak Theater. Ellen and her fiancé Portia de Rossi showed off Portia’s new diamond engagement ring and the pair also revealed new deets on their upcoming nuptials to People magazine. Here is a pic of Ellen and Portia showing off the ring and a supercute pic of the ladies sharing a congratulatory smooch as Ellen was announced as the Best Talk Show Host winner:
Ellen DeGeneres gave Portia de Rossi a glittering ring with pink diamonds for their upcoming wedding that will air in part on DeGeneres’s talk show. “We have set a wedding date,” said DeGeneres, who walked the red carpet with de Rossi at Friday night’s 35th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards at the Kodak Theater in Hollywood. De Rossi wore a green satin Lanvin gown and a Neil Lane ring on her wedding finger. The ring was a marquis cut diamond set with pink diamonds. DeGeneres … announced her plans to wed longtime girlfriend de Rossi, on her show back in May, shortly after California’s Supreme Court ruled the previous ban on gay marriages as unconstitutional. The two stars are in the midst of preparations for what DeGeneres calls “the dream wedding.” “Planning a wedding is very stressful,” says DeGeneres. “It is crazy. My gardener is now invited.” The comedienne remained tight-lipped on the major details of her upcoming nuptials to de Rossi, 35, only revealing that “incredible people” would be performing, and that she would air part of the ceremony on her show … “I can’t wait to be married. I feel like it is long overdue,” she said. “And 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 like we all don’t have the same rights.” The two stars began dating in December 2004.
Aww … I am so excited for these two. I’m sure they are going to pull out all the stops for their wedding and if I know Ellen, it’s gonna be a really fun affair. I can only imagine what the guest list looks like (anyone from Oprah Winfrey to David Beckham to Hillary Clinton to Madonna could be on it) and I cannot wait to watch it all go down on Ellen’s show. Much congrats to the happy couple … I just hope *we* won’t have to wait *too* long to find out the wedding date ;)

hmm…I wonder if Usher will be on the guest list? ;) I am so happy that the USA is finally catching up and recognizing that all of their citizens deserve equal rights. So happy for Ellen – she is such an outstanding role model for so many different reasons. LOVE IT!

So I guess Ellen is the butch in the relationship since de Rossi is wearing the ring. Wonder if there will be a special strap-on made for the wedding night??!!

I love Ellen…I really do! She is so great and funny…but….it is so painful to see her kissing….anyone. She always looks so uncomfortable. She was the same way with that Anne chick. She’s out! Has been for a long time..get comfy with it girlfriend!
