The long-awaited Ellen DeGeneres-Portia de Rossi wedding will go down sometime this weekend. So says Usmagazine.com, which reports that the couple, who began dating in December 2004, plan a “small, intimate ceremony with only a few close friends and family.”
After the California Supreme Court's ruling in May that same-sex couples have the right to marry, DeGeneres, 50, announced on her show she would wed her 35-year-old partner.
“It's something that we've wanted to do and we want it to be legal and we are very, very excited,” DeGeneres said.
