Back to Work

Back to Work

It was back to work this week for one of America's most beloved blushing brides. Ellen DeGeneres married her girlfriend of four years, Portia de Rossi, after California made it legal for same sex couples to wed. The couple planned an intimate wedding with family and friends in August, but it was back to work on Ellen's hit daytime show this week.

"Planning a wedding is very stressful," DeGeneres told E! at the Daytime Emmy Awards. "It is crazy. My gardener is now invited." Now that the big event has passed, the couple has returned to regular life with some slight differences. The show was full of Ellen's signature dance moves, but she also had a cheerful announcement:

"This is my first show as a married lady," DeGeneres told an enthusiastic audience.

Are you planning your return to work after your honeymoon? It's fine if you want to show off your new ring and some of your favorite pics to your colleagues, but you probably don't want to go overboard. Everyone knows that one colleague that brings in pictures of their precious schnauzer and shows them off ad nauseam. You don't want to take their place as the office bore! [Associated Press]
