Friday May 16, 2008


Ellen DeGeneres and Portia De Rossi are going to the chapel!

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.

TMZ first reported the news.

De Rossi, 35, was in the studio — and the crowd went wild applauding before giving the pair a standing ovation. Watch a clip from Friday's show above.

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.

"She’s taught me lessons about myself, and I feel like I’ve taught her," DeGeneres added. "We’ve both changed and grown, and we just feel like, ‘Oh, ok, this is completion.’”
