Ellen DeGeneres marries girlfriend Portia de Rossi
Washington - US television talk show host Ellen DeGeneres and her long-time partner actress Portia de Rossi were married in Los Angeles, according to a news report Sunday.
In May, DeGeneres announced plans to marry de Rossi during a taping of her popular show, after California's Supreme Court ruled that a previous ban on gay marriage was unconstitutional.
The couple has been together since December 2004.
DeGeneres, 50, and de Rossi, 35, exchanged rings and handwritten vows during an 'intimate ceremony' Saturday night at their home in Los Angeles, People magazine reported.
The wedding was attended by 19 guests, including DeGeneres's mother Betty and de Rossi's mother Margaret Rogers, who flew in from Australia.
'She's taught me lessons about myself, and I feel like I've taught her. We've both changed and grown, and we just feel like, 'Oh, okay, this is completion',' People quoted DeGeneres say saying.

Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi divorcing 2 days after getting married
Just two days after Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi tied the knot in Los Angeles, the couple is complaining to friends that their sex life has suddenly gone downhill and that they're getting divorced.
"All these years, they've been fighting for the right to get married, and now that they have legally done it, they're realizing what a nightmare it is," says a person in the know. "Ellen comes home from work, exhausted from her show and Portia wants to go out dancing and have a good time. Ellen just wants to stay in and read the paper and go to bed. When Ellen wants to have sex, though, Portia claims she has a headache and tells her to put the strap-on back in the closet."
Friends say Ellen and Portia are filing for divorce, but are NOT splitting up. They just want to get back to where they were before marriage. Ellen and Portia will also release a PSA to warn other gay and lesbian couples to avoid marriage at all costs as it can completely destroy their sex lives.
