Yesterday's California Supreme Court ruling lifting the state's ban on gay marriages has changed the lives of gay and lesibian couples across the state, among them talk show host Ellen DeGeneres and her partner, actress Portia DiRossi: now the couple, who have been together since 2004, can legally marry.
And that's exactly what they're planning to do.
DeGeneres told the audience at yesterday's taping of her show that she and DiRossi are looking forward to tying the knot. DeGeneres choked up when she talked about it, saying, "If I'm this emotional now just saying it, I can't imagine how that's [getting married] going to be. It's something that we've wanted to do, that we've wanted to be legal, and we're just very very excited." DiRossi, who was in the audience, also appeared to be weeping just a bit. And really who can blame her?
