Access Hollywood - August 19, 2008 3:21 PM PDT

LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- Ellen DeGeneres gushed about her wedding to sweetheart Portia De Rossi in the new issue of People magazine.

"What can I say? I'm the luckiest girl in the world," Ellen said. "She's officially off the market. No one else gets her."

And, the funny lady added, "Now she'll cook and clean for me."

Ellen and Portia married on Saturday evening in a private ceremony at their Beverly Hills home.

The intimate nuptials were attended by 19 people including Ellen's mom, Betty, and Portia's mom, Margaret, who flew in from Australia.

"The love we felt from the people surrounding us, and the love we have for each other, made this the most beautiful and emotional day," Portia told People. "And one that we'll never forget."

The couple, who both wore Zac Posen, exchanged Neil Lane rings, according to the mag.

Following the ceremony, guests dined on vegan cuisine followed by red velvet cake.

Acoustic singer/songwriter Joshua Radin was the musical guest at the reception, performing a host of new songs and a ballad, "They Bring Me To You," according to the magazine. And, Radin said, he was very moved by the ceremony.

"I cannot imagine topping that experience," Joshua told People. "I've never played a wedding before, and I probably won't again until it's my own."

Friend of the stars - T.R. Knight - offered his well wishes for the couple, noting that he continues to be thrilled over the ruling making same-sex marriage legal in California.

"I happy that they're happy," T.R. told People. "I'm happy that they're allowed to get married."

And the newlyweds were in bloom on Monday when the couple stepped out in Los Angeles for a bite at Real Food Daily.

When asked by reporters, including X-17 Online how married life was, Portia replied, "amazing!"

    I don't see why there is so much fuss over this. I bet you people were saying similar things when women got the right to vote.

    Everyone on earth has a right to "choice". The choice you make will determine the result you get. Definitely, all choices, be it good or bad has an end result and nobody will contend that. Thanks.

    Congratulations to Ellen and Portia! As for the rest....love is the only thing that matters. Do people have so little going on or have love show up in such force in their lives that they feel they have the right to judge how love finds it's way to others? Bible and religion aside, if these two lucky PEOPLE love each other, who are ANY of us to judge?! Blessings to them both.

    What is homosexuality anyway, TJ? It's sex between the same sexes...God is very clear on how HE feels about it. He calls it an abomination!! That's Biblical, so re -read yours TJ...Also, God and Jesus are the SAME...and if GOD says He's against it, so is Jesus.....NOW, don't read into this that I hate gays..I only disagree with the concept. And, I am only correcting
