Ring the wedding bells!
Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi have tied the knot.
"Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi were married tonight in an intimate ceremony at their home in Los Angeles," their spokesperson tells PEOPLE exclusively.
DeGeneres, 50, and de Rossi, 35, both wore Zac Posen and exchanged rings by Neil Lane during the Saturday ceremony. Their big day also featured arrangements by L.A. florist Mark's Garden.
The intimate ceremony was attended by 19 guests, including DeGeneres's mom Betty and de Rossi's mother Margaret Rogers (who flew in from Australia for the occasion), who witnessed the couple exchange handwritten vows.
The couple have been dating since December 2004. DeGeneres announced her plans to wed de Rossi during a taping of her talk show in May after California's Supreme Court ruled a previous ban on gay marriage to be unconstitutional.

The following month de Rossi showed off a 3-carat diamond ring set on a pink pavé band DeGeneres presented to her for their upcoming nuptials when the pair attended the Daytime Emmy Awards together.
"She's taught me lessons about myself, and I feel like I've taught her," the TV host said of de Rossi last year. "We've both changed and grown, and we just feel like, 'Oh, okay, this is completion.'"
If Gwen Stefani's pregnancy seems interminable, imagine what it's like for the singer who kept a big beautiful smile on her face on the way into the doctor's office in LA with Gavin yesterday afternoon. Gwen looked ready to pop and in great spirits with her husband holding her hand, but little Kingston sat this one out.

Looks like financially beleaguered Ed McMahon will have a new landlord: Donald Trump.
The tycoon says he will save the veteran television personality's Beverly Hills mansion from foreclosure by buying it - and leasing it back to the octogenarian.
Trump, who does not know McMahon personally, said it "would be an honor" to help out the man who spent three decades as Johnny Carson's sidekick on The Tonight Show. "When I was at the Wharton School of Business I'd watch him every night."
McMahon, 85, bought the six-bedroom house in January 1990. Down from a peak price of $7 million, the property was listed at a bargain $4.6 million last weekend, according to the Los Angeles Times.
Paperwork on the sale has not been completed, but McMahon was "very optimistic" the deal would go through, his spokesman told the Associated Press.
...Well YEAH for the Donald and for Ed too! AT least now we can stop talking about this.
Ok...How is it that the blogs haven't picked up on this yet. While everyone is so busy looking at Katie Holmes' ankles (rolled up jeans)... no one is looking at her belly. ...well, that's because she's always blocking her belly... ...and then...using Jenn Garner's move... ...So this is why they have such big purses... ...are you sensing a theme? And when she did show off her belly at the Pineapple Express premiere it looked like this...
...How is it that NO ONE is talking about this?? That looks a little baby bumpish-ious to me!Is it time for another Tom Kitten??

Christian Bale will not be charged over claims of assault following a July 20 London disagreement with his mother and sister, PEOPLE has confirmed.
Prosecutors at England's Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) have reviewed the case and determined it is not in the public interest nor is there sufficient evidence to gain a conviction.
"On the advice of the CPS we shall be taking no further action," a Metropolitan Police spokesman tells PEOPLE. "We will not be commenting further."
Law Firm's Statement
Confirming the police information, the legal firm of Schillings said in a statement, "Mr. Bale's spokesperson Jennifer Allen said that Mr. Bale, who always denied the allegations made against him, is relieved that this issue has been resolved and hopes to put the matter firmly behind him."
The firm noted, "Contrary to various press reports Mr. Bale has not been cautioned or charged at all."
Schillings added, "At this this time there will be no further comment by Mr. Bale."
Statement from Authorities
The CPS also released a statement Thursday about the case.
"We can today confirm that we have advised the Metropolitan Police Service that the actor Christian Bale should not face any charges following an incident which occurred in relation to his mother and sister at the Dorchester hotel on 21 July this year," the CPS said.
"Whilst the CPS treats all incidents which take place in a domestic context seriously, it is important that the views of complainants are also taken into account when making decisions in such cases."
"Taking all the factors into consideration, the decision has been taken that there is insufficient evidence to afford a realistic prospect of conviction, and accordingly the police have been advised that no further action should be taken against Mr. Bale."
Pre-Arranged Police Meeting
The incident allegedly took place inside Bale's suite in London's Dorchester hotel a day prior to the U.K. premiere of The Dark Knight. Bale attended the movie's events then reported for a pre-arranged meeting at Belgravia police station the following day. He was arrested and questioned, then released later the same day.
Bale denied the assault allegations made against him in a statement released by his attorneys. A few days later, Bale called it a deeply personal matter.
...And here's hoping his family keeps the drama a private affair.
