Ellen DeGeneres wed her longtime girlfriend Portia de Rossi on Saturday. "Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi were married tonight in an intimate ceremony at their home in Los Angeles," the couple's spokesperson told People magazine.

Both women wore Zac Posen and exchanged Neil Lane rings in front of 19 guests, including DeGeneres' mother Betty and de Rossi's mother Margaret Rogers.

The couple have been dating since December 2004, and DeGeneres announced their plans to wed during a taping of her show after the California Supreme Court legalized gay marriage.

"She's taught me lessons about myself, and I feel like I've taught her," DeGeneres said last year. "We've both changed and grown, and we just feel like, 'Oh, OK, this is completion.'"
