Actress Portia de Rossi and comedian Ellen DeGeneres are getting married on Saturday according to US Weekly.

The pair are planning a small, intimate ceremony with only a few close friends and family.

Following the California Supreme Court’s monumental ruling that same sex couple’s have the “right to marry,” DeGeneres announced she planned to wed her longtime girlfriend on a taping of her show in May.

“It’s something that we’ve wanted to do and we want it to be legal and we are very, very excited,” DeGeneres, 50, gushed.

The couple has been planning their nuptials for the past couple of months. They first announced their intention to get married back in May.
