Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi

Year: 2008

Location: At home in Los Angeles

Est. Cost: $20,000

You’d think that this wealthy A-lister would’ve had a jaw-droppingly lavish wedding, but no. Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi had an intimate wedding in 2008 at their Los Angeles home. With marriage equality newly legalized, they opted for a small ceremony with 19 guests.

Both brides wore Zac Posen outfits: Ellen in a blouse and trouser combo, Portia in a rose-colored backless dress. They exchanged personalized vows by candlelight in a tastefully decorated room. A personal chef prepared a vegan meal, and a stunning red velvet wedding cake was served. The wedding, costing a humble $20K by Hollywood standards, emphasized love and simplicity over extravagance.
