9. Wedding in 2008.
In 2008, the California Supreme Court ruled that gay marriage was legal. This meant that Ellen and Portia could get married. Ellen planned to surprise Portia with a commitment ceremony during their joint birthday party but changed her mind after the ruling. The host proposed to Portia instead, and she said yes. The ceremony was intimate, with close friends and family in attendance. It took place at their LA home, where they exchanged vows while seated on floor pillows in their living room.
