Ellen DeGeneres says Ryan Seacrest played a hand in keeping her August Beverly Hills wedding to Portia de Rossi "lovely and small."

See Ellen DeGeneres' wedding photo.

Originally, Justin Timberlake was going to perform a new song he penned for the two.

"That made it get bigger," DeGeneres said Wednesday on Seacrest's KIIS-FM radio show. "We said, 'He can't just sing for our Aunt Helen from Mississippi! We got invite some more!'"

George Michael was going to sing as well.

"It just got bigger and bigger," DeGeneres said. "It was going to be gigantic, and Ryan talked us out of it."

Explained Seacrest: "'Are you sure you're gong to be comfortable with elephants on your grass?' I truly believe people get carried away with the volume of the wedding that they don't enjoy the purpose of the wedding."

"It started from the wrong place," DeGeneres later admitted. "We called and disinvited everyone. They totally understood."

(As for the music, she settled on Joshua Radin, "who was fantastic and was so thrilled and honored," DeGeneres said.)

So how's married life?

"The ol' ball chain won't let me go bowling and hang out with the girls," DeGeneres joked.

Kidding aside, she said being married "is fantastic. I think until you're married you don't know.

"You can have a commitment in your heart," she added, "but there's something about getting married."

When I first heard that Ellen was the new face of Cover Girl--i thought-GREAT !! Another "politically correct" corporation who is so out of touch concerning the American woman who is their demographic !

Another liberal org trying to push Gay marriage down our throats, so to speak !

Boycott Cover Girl for traditional American ways most of us Americans cherish!

Why covergirl?? She is SOOOOOOO NOT easy on the eyes! PUKE! I don't know how Portia does it???? I just look at Ellen and think "wow, she is hideous". Not "easy breezy beautiful"!! No makeup will help that.

On a less personal level, I find her to be boring and not funny. She uses the SAME TIRED JOKES OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER. I don't think she has come up with anything new in the last 10 years.

Isn't it great that they're happy!!! I'm so glad that people who love each other are able to marry. Ellen's funny and cute. I hope she and Portia continue to enjoy and value their relationship.

I would rather have my toes amputated than look at Ellen Degeneres. She is the lowest person alive and her show is all an act to win over vieweers. Neither Santa Claus is real nor is the Ellen Degeneres everyone loves.

I'm glad Ellen's marriage has been well. I totally understand why JT didn't sing at Ellen's wedding, and why a lot of guests were uninvited, and it was nice of them to understand.

3:21 PM keisha Says:

I love Ellen and Portia. They are such a beautiful couple and I am so happy to see them happily married! They deserve all the happiness in the world.

2:10 PM Melissa Says:

Two snaps up for these two. I think to show the world that they love each other and to do it in fromt of the world tells me alot about them. There is so much bad press on gay relationships. It shows exactly what they have! YOU GO GIRLS!
