Portia de Rossi: Married Life Is "Amazing"
How does married life feel?
"Amazing!" Portia de Rossi told photographers as she grabbed lunch with new wife Ellen DeGeneres (and DeGeneres' mom, Betty) at Real Food Daily in West Hollywood on Monday — two days after they wed.
"Married!" DeGeneres, 50, exclaimed after shouting, "We've done it!"
Quizzed about their honeymoon plans, DeGeneres told photographers, "I have to get back to work... this is it."
The two — who have been dating since December 2004 — tied the knot Saturday in front of about 20 pals in an intimate, sunset ceremony at their Beverly Hills home.
"They were hugging and kissing and looked ecstatic," an onlooker tells Usmagazine.com. "Ellen was helping Portia with the train of her [Zac Posen] dress, which looked like a Cinderella tutu."
The pair, who "were both laughing," walked "all over the lawn together, holding hands and posing," the witness adds.

De Rossi, 35, has credited DeGeneres with helping her come out.
"My feelings for Ellen overrode all of my fear about being out as a lesbian,” she told the Advocate in 2005.
De Rossi said her "knees were weak" the first time she spotted DeGeneres.
"That had never happened to me in my life, where I saw somebody and [experienced] all of those things you hear about in songs and read about in poetry," de Rossi said.
DeGeneres said she hoped she and de Rossi would be "together the rest of our lives.
"I never would have thought my life would have turned out this way," she told Allure in 2005. "To have money. Or to have a gorgeous girlfriend. I just feel so lucky with everything in my life right now."
