Australian actress Portia de Rossi has spoken of her "emotional" wedding to US talkshow host Ellen DeGeneres, saying it's a day they'll never forget.
The same-sex Hollywood couple married at an intimate ceremony at the weekend inside the grounds of their $US29 ($NZ41.18) million Beverly Hills estate.
Photographs of the happy couple have appeared in People magazine as part of an exclusive deal in which the two talk of their love for each other.
"The love we felt from the people surrounding us, and the love we have for each other, made this the most beautiful and emotional day," de Rossi told the magazine.
"And one that we'll never forget."
DeGeneres described herself as "the luckiest girl in the world".
"She's officially off the market. No one else gets her. And now she'll cook and clean for me."
The two were both dressed in Zac Posen designs for the ceremony during which they sat on floor pillows surrounded by candles and flowers, the magazine said.
After exchanging rings, the couple and their guests enjoyed an all-vegan menu and vegan red velvet wedding cake.
DeGeneres, 50, and de Rossi, 35, began dating in late 2004.
The couple joined thousands of others in California taking advantage of the state's landmark court ruling in May allowing gay marriage.
The law, however, may soon be overturned.
Groups in California opposing gay marriage have successfully applied to have the issue decided by the state's voters when they go to the polls for the November 4 presidential election.
On the ballot, voters will be asked to support or oppose Proposition 8 which asks for "only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognised in California".
Born Amanda Lee Rogers, de Rossi was born and raised in Geelong and adopted her new name when she was 15.
She starred in the 1994 Australian movie Sirens with Elle Macpherson and moved to the US where she had a role in the 1997's teen horror film Scream 2. Her big break was a leading role in the 1997 legal comedy TV series, Ally McBeal, while she also starred in the critically acclaimed comedy Arrested Development.
