Talk show host Ellen DeGeneres is reported to marry her lontime girlfriend, actress Portia de Rossi, in a private ceremony on Saturday. The couple began dating in December 2004.

"Their wedding is definitely happening and 20 people were invited," a source told U.K. magazine Female First. "Portia is wearing a flowing, form-fitting dress by Zac Posen."

DeGeneres first announced that the two were getting married on her TV show after the California Supreme Court ruled that gay couples were legally allowed to marry.

"It's something that we've wanted to do and we want it to be legal and we are very, very excited," DeGeneres said on her show.
