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.

Comedian Ellen DeGeneres says that her and her partner Portia de Rossi have set a wedding date and are planning their upcoming nuptials according to OK! Magazine.

“Yes, we have set a wedding date,” she confessed. “Portia has a ring. It’s a Neil Lane ring.”

Ellen, who also revealed she plans to fly Portia’s mom in from Australia for the ceremony, was eager to talk about her upcoming nuptials admitting that , “planning a wedding is stressful.”

She also joked about the size of the guest list, joking that her many Emmys “will be on top of the cake,” and that the wedding is now so big “my gardener is invited.”

Portia is an actress who is best known for her most recent work on Nip/Tuck along with Arrested Development and Ally McBeal.

DeGeneres and Portia announced their intention to wed last month when gay marriage in California became legal.

Actress Portia de Rossi and comedian Ellen Degeneres are set to wed now that the California Supreme Court has overturned the gay marriage ban in Cali. Ellen made the announcement on her talk show yesterday to a cheering audience.

DeGeneres made the announcement Thursday, according to the Associated Press and TMZ (which first reported the story). The news came hot on the heels of a judicial ruling that struck down California’s laws against gay marriage.

De Rossi, 35, was reportedly in the studio when DeGeneres – who just celebrated her 50th birthday – made the announcement before a cheering audience. (The episode is scheduled to air Friday.)

In what’s sure to be a controversial decision, the California’s Supreme Court ruled that people have a fundamental “right to marry” the partner of their choosing – therefore the previous ban on gay marriage was ruled unconstitutional.

This is going to be a long battle within the state of California. Those against gay marriage say they have enough signatures to get the issue put back on the ballot for voters to vote for an amendment to the constitution.
