Comedian/actor Ellen DeGeneres got married over the weekend to her long time girlfriend Portia de Rossi who is also an actor. The two promised they would get married as soon as the ban on gay marriage was deemed unconstitutional and unbanned, and they did.

According to a PEOPLE spokesperson Ellen and Portia had a small, intimate ceremony in there Los Angeles home.

I want to give a big congratulations to Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi. The whole ban on gay marriage is just ridiculous in my opinion and I think it’s great these two had a chance to get married, just like all of us silly hetero’s do.

I hope you stay together forever and ever!
