Ellen Degeneres on Marriage: 'It Was Everything we Hoped it Would be'

Talk show queen Ellen DeGeneres has posted a picture and a special message to fans on her website about her wedding to long term love Portia De Rossi.

DeGeneres, 50, and De Rossi, 35, got wed in a private ceremony at their Los Angeles home over the weekend.

In the official picture, Portia is wearing a traditional wedding dress, designed by Zac Posen, while Ellen wears a white suit.

Ellen's message reads, "I had a big, big weekend. I got married to Portia de Rossi! Sorry, John Stamos… this one's taken.

"You may notice something different about the way I'm writing… it's fancy. This is the font I type in now that I'm MARRIED! I do a lot of things differently now...

"I say, 'I do' a lot. For example: Who wants to do pilates? I do. Would you like a Mountain Dew? I do. Do you know why I pulled you over? I do. And that was just this morning.

"The wedding was everything we hoped it would be. I wish I could've invited all of you. But I have some pictures and video I can show you when Season 6 starts on September 8. I can’t wait to see them too… it was a blur. See you then."

Ellen and Portia, who have been in a relationship since 2004, decided to get married after California's Supreme Court legalised same-sex marriage in May.

The intimate ceremony was only attended by 19 guests, including their mothers.
