AceShowbiz - After weeks of chatter and speculation, it seems that the much speculated wedding of Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi will finally come to fruition. Confirmation on that seems to have been accepted by a new report on US Weekly which claimed the lesbian couple are planning to tie the knot this weekend in California.
Contrary to tabloid and Internet reports, the pair won't have a star-studded ceremony. They will instead hold an intimate wedding, inviting a few close friends and family. The exact date and wedding venue are not mentioned though.
Talks on Ellen and Portia's wedding have been abuzz since the talk show host publicly announced during a taping for her show "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" in May that she's planning to wed Portia soon after the California Supreme Court officially ruled that same sex couple have the "right to marry."
Ellen even jokingly asked for permission from President Bush's first daughter Jenna Hager during an interview on her show in late May that she would allow her to hold her wedding to Portia at her family's Crawford, Texas ranch. Adding fuel to the wedding talk, she reportedly has also paid a visit to Portia's grandmother in Australia who won't be able to travel to the U.S. for their upcoming wedding.
In addition to those details, both of them have as well spilled the beans on the guests they're planning to invite to attend their wedding, telling the press actor T. R. Knight will surely be invited, plus the wedding gifts they would like to have.
