Reports: DeGeneres and de Rossi wed in
Calif.

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) -- There was much dancing: Ellen
DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi are married, according to reports.
In the biggest celebrity union since California legalized same-sex
marriage, DeGeneres, 50, and de Rossi, 35, wed Saturday night in an intimate
ceremony at their Beverly Hills home, People and Us Magazine reported.
A publicist for DeGeneres didn't immediately respond to messages from The
Associated Press on Saturday.
After the California Supreme Court's ruling in May, the talk-show host
announced that she and de Rossi would wed after four years together.
The ceremony was attended by 19 guests, including DeGeneres's mom Betty and
de Rossi's mother Margaret Rogers, who flew in from Australia for the occasion,
People.com reported Saturday night.
DeGeneres said after winning her fourth consecutive Daytime Emmy for talk
show host in June that a date had not been set, and that she would show ''a tiny
bit'' of the nuptials on her show.
While opponents in California have gathered signatures to put a measure on
the November ballot for a constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage,
Hollywood was throwing it support behind the newlyweds.
''One of my favorite people of all time is Ms. Ellen DeGeneres,'' Katherine
Heigel told AP Television at a Hollywood charity event on Saturday night. ''So I
wish all the best, all the happiness, all the joy that comes with that
certificate ... just the joy of being able to stand up and say that. In front of
everyone you love and care about in front of each other and to walk away legal
is huge.''
