Okay so I’m sorry I am a little behind on this news, maybe a lot of you already know, but maybe there are a few people like me out there that a bit behind. Now it’s not that old…Ellen Pompeo says not to expect anything extravagant. It’s going to be very small. She doesn’t give much details on the nuptials, revealing only that the ceremony won’t take place in Los Angeles. “We were thinking about going away and getting married,” she said. Ellen and Ivery met in an L.A. grocery store back in 2003.

Ellen says her fiancé has changed her life because, “I just have somebody to share everything with, all of these moments. The bad ones and the good ones. We have a very strong bond, and we just understand each other. He’s just a real companion.” She added that she knew Ivery was “the one” early on: “I guess you fall in love and you think he’s the guy right away. Right when you fall in love, you think he’s the guy. You don’t sort of fall into a relationship thinking it’s only going to be temporary.”

“Chris and I have been together for four and a half years, so I was completely surprised, but not that surprised,” Ellen admitted. “We’ve been together awhile.”
Ellen’s wedding won’t be huge but she says her co-stars may need make traveling plans in order to attend. I’ll try to keep you updated sooner
