Eric Stonestreet, known for his role in Modern Family, has tied the knot with his long-time partner Lindsay Schweitzer in a heartwarming wedding ceremony that took place in their Kansas City dream home. The couple, who have been in a relationship since 2017, officially became husband and wife on a special day that coincided with Stonestreet’s birthday, as shared by the actor on Instagram.
The wedding photos posted by Stonestreet on social media captured the couple’s intimate ceremony, with the actor looking dapper in a navy blazer and blue tie, while the bride exuded elegance in a satin gown with crystal belt detailing. The ceremony was held at their dream home in Kansas City, where they shared their first dance surrounded by musicians playing acoustic guitars.
The announcement of their marriage was met with an outpouring of love and well-wishes from friends and fans, including Stonestreet’s Modern Family co-star Jesse Tyler Ferguson, who jokingly referred to it as his “favourite second marriage.” Other celebrities like Octavia Spencer also congratulated the couple on their special day.
Stonestreet had revealed earlier to PEOPLE in July that their plan was to have the wedding at their Kansas City home, where they have been building a house to host the ceremony. The couple got engaged in 2021 after several years of being together, with their relationship beginning in 2017 at a charity event in Kansas City.
Describing their journey together, Stonestreet shared that Schweitzer had a calming effect on him and highlighted her positive impact on his life during an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. He expressed his admiration for her by stating that he knew she was the perfect partner for him, leading to his decision to propose.
The couple’s engagement in 2021 marked a significant milestone in their relationship, with Stonestreet acknowledging that he had taken his time to make the decision, but ultimately knew that Schweitzer was the one for him. Their engagement was a spontaneous and heartfelt moment, reflecting the genuine connection they share.
Stonestreet’s recent hosting gig on the Fox game show series Domino Masters saw him navigating unfamiliar territory, but with the help of Schweitzer’s children, who were well-versed in the subject matter, he found his way. The actor commended Schweitzer for her exceptional skills as a parent and partner, underscoring her ability to understand and support him.
As the newlyweds embark on this new chapter in their lives, the support and love they have received from their loved ones and fans are a testament to the joyous occasion. The intimate wedding in their Kansas City home symbolises the deep bond and commitment shared between Eric Stonestreet and Lindsay Schweitzer, marking the beginning of a beautiful journey together.
