“The two looked ecstatic and couldn't keep the smiles off their
faces or their eyes off each other”,the Daily Telegraph quoted a
witness as saying. “Portia looked stunning, like a real fairytale
princess”,the witness added.
For the wedding, De Rossi, 35, wore a plunging halter-neck

to the ground in blush pink. Her hair was swept up off her face.
The Geelong-raised actor's gown was reportedly by US designer
Zac Posen.

for official photos. The pair kissed and hugged the whole time as

tied the knot. “We don't need anything. We've been blessed enough”,
she said. DeGeneres had announced her plans to wed her long-time
girlfriend on her talk show in May, shortly after California's
Supreme Court ruled the ban on gay marriages was unconstitutional.
