Melissa and Tammy Lynn Etheridge had a wedding five years ago, but they're about to make it legal. There's no date yet, though. The pair
are still in pre-planning stages. "We're trying to find the right time now actually to go down and do it – [that] is where we're at," Etheridge said.
Congratulations Melissa and Tammy!
Star Magazine is reporting that Portia de Rossi is planning to take her new wife Ellen DeGeneres' name, and legally become Portia DeGeneres.
According to an insider, the two purchased stationery engraved with "Mrs. and Mrs. DeGeneres" from Tiffany & Co. in Beverly Hills weeks before their ceremony.
"Ellen and Portia used it to write thank-you notes to the 19 friends and family who attended," says the source.
That's a huge step, considering that even a lot of married heterosexual women choose not to change their names these days. Good for Portia, and lucky Ellen!
After 21 years, Star Trek actor George Takei has made an honest man out of his partner, Brad Altman. The couple were married today in a Buddhist ceremony on the grounds of the Japanese American National Museum in Los Angeles. People reports:
Nearly 200 of the couple's friends attended the event, which began as a kimono-clad koto player plucked out tunes on the ancient Japanese stringed instrument. Afterward, the couple sipped sake from red lacquer cups, then said their vows to one another while standing within a circle of yellow rose petals.
The couple were attended by Takei's former Star Trek co-stars Nichelle Nichols and Walter Koenig. They "flashed the "live long and prosper" hand sign to photographers and friends" as they were led to the reception by a bagpiper.
Congratulations, George and Brad! May you have many more happy years together!
A bit late, but here they are... gorgeous (if grainy) photos from Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi's wedding this past Saturday.
Ellen looked dapper-soft butch in white, while Portia was incredibly dreamy in a Zac Posen halter dress with a pink skirt.
Could these two be any happier? So cute!
Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi were married on Saturday at their home in Los Angeles.
Their rep confirmed that the couple "exchanged handwritten vows in an intimate ceremony attended by 19 guests."
I can't possibly extend enough congratulations to these two! Ellen is such a positive icon, and she and Portia make the cutest couple. Can't wait for the details... you know we'll have them here when they're available...
