Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi are going all out for their wedding. The duo, who attended Friday night's Daytime Emmy Awards, told reporters that the plans for their "dream wedding" are well underway. Ellen announced on her show last month, after the California Supreme Court decided to overturn the ban on gay marriage, that she and her girl would be tying the knot.
"How do I feel about it? I obviously feel like it's long overdue," the comedienne said. "I think someday people will look back on this like women not having the right to vote and segregation and anything else that seems ridiculous that we don't all have the same rights."
As for their own nups, Ellen said that they are making headway. "We have set a wedding date," she said on the red carpet, where Portia was sportin' a brand new ring, complete with pink diamonds.
Some of the wedding will air on Ellen's talk show (yay!) and the Emmy-winner (she won her fourth consecutive for Outstanding Talk-Show Host on Friday) says the entertainment will be pretty good, telling reporters "incredible people" will sing at their ceremony.
There will, no doubt, be a ton of dancing. Can't wait!
