Following the California Supreme Court's monumental ruling that same sex couples have the "right to marry," DeGeneres announced she planned to wed her longtime girlfriend on a taping of her show.
"It's something that we've wanted to do and we want it to be legal and we are very, very excited," DeGeneres said.

DeGeneres, 50, has been dating De Rossi since December 2004.
"I feel like I found my perfect fit," DeGeneres said of de Rossi in an interview with the Advocate.
