Ellen wins 4th Emmy, plans wedding
”Yes, we have set a wedding date…. How do I feel about it? I obviously feel like it’s long overdue. I think someday people will look back on this like women not having the right to vote and segregation and anything else that seems ridiculous that we don’t all have the same rights…. Planning a wedding is very stressful. It’s crazy. My gardener is now invited.”
