Ellen DeGeneres and
Portia de Rossi wed at their home
in Beverly Hills, California, Saturday night.
De Rossi, 35, wore a backless, light pink dress, and her hair in a
loose updo. DeGeneres, 50, dressed in pants, button-up shirt and
vest all in white.
Before the
intimate ceremony attended by about 20 guests,
"Ellen and Portia came out and posed for pictures with Ellen's mom
and their two dogs," a witness tells Usmagazine.com.
"They were hugging and kissing, and looked ecstatic," the onlooker
adds. "Ellen was helping Portia with the train of her dress, which
looked like a Cinderella tutu."
The pair, who "were both laughing," walked "all over the lawn
together holding hands and posing," the witness tells Us. "The
whole afternoon seemed light-hearted."
Earlier, workers were spotted bringing in bunches of pale pink and
red roses.
Wedding plans have been in the works for months.
In May, following the California Supreme Court's monumental ruling
that same sex couple's have the right to marry, DeGeneres
announced on her talk show that she intended to
wed her girlfriend of nearly four years.
"It's something that we've wanted to do and we want it to be legal
and we are very, very excited," DeGeneres said.
In June, de Rossi debuted a marquis cut Neil Lane sparkler set with
pink diamonds at the Daytime Emmy Awards.

De Rossi has credited DeGeneres with helping her come out of the
closet.
"My feelings for Ellen overrode all of my fear about being out as a
lesbian, she told the
Advocate in September 2005.
De Rossi said the first time she spotted DeGeneres, the comedian
took her 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," de Rossi said.
In 2005, DeGeneres said she hoped she and de Rossi would be
"together the rest of our lives."
"I never would have thought my life would have turned out this
way," DeGeneres told
Allure. "To have money. Or to have a
gorgeous girlfriend. I just feel so lucky with everything in my
life right now."
