The California Supreme Court lifted the ban on gay marriage yesterday and Ellen DeGeneres took advantage of this news during taping of her show by announcing she will be marrying lesbian lover Portia de Rossi.

DeGeneres was taping the episode of “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” on Thursday, the day the state’s high court struck down California laws against gay marriage, and it was to air Friday, a person close to the production said.

The person, who was not authorized to discuss the matter publicly, spoke to The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity.

I wonder who will be taking the other’s last name? From the picture above it looks like Portia won’t be the one taking anyone’s last name, but then again she isn’t bringing home the butter.
