Ellen and Portia Wed!
Over the weekend, Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi were married — legally married — in California.
Although they met in 2000, their relationship didn’t begin until outrageous chemistry apparently erupted in December 2004. Portia states in the Advocate: “I ran into Ellen at a photo-shoot, and she took my breath away. That had never happened to me in my life, where I saw somebody and [experienced] all of those things you hear about in songs and read about in poetry. My knees were weak.”
Ellen said in People, “We were just supposed to be together. It was a tough decision. I was physically getting sick because I was trying so hard not to say anything.”
Portia gushed about Ellen in the Advocate, “Just being a couple — being able to walk down a red carpet holding her hand, that’s exciting for me. I respect her so much. She was so courageous and so loud in ’97, and now she is doing something that is more subliminal. She’s changing the world, she really is, and it’s exciting to be a part of that.”
In the Advocate Ellen said, “I could say the same thing I’ve said in every relationship: I’m happy. But there’s happiness and there’s love, and then there’s completion.”
Let’s hope we can all find this completion — and legally wed if we choose.
