Heres an excerpt from the People Magazine interview with Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi's. The brides were asked when they knew they wanted to spend the rest of their lives together.

The timing wasn;t right."Portia: "When I met her, I just was so attracted to her and just wanted to be around her, but I was at a different stage.
