Modern Family icon Eric Stonestreet, known for playing Cameron Tucker on the sitcom, has officially tied the knot with fiancée Lindsay Schweitzer on his birthday. The longtime couple announced the incredible news on September 9 in a series of photos shared on Instagram.

“It’s my birthday and guess what I got,” the 54-year-old actor wrote in the caption. The first photo showed him standing on his own looking dapper in a black suit, white shirt, blue tie and brown-rimmed glasses and the second sweet snap had the bride and groom hold hands as they entered the reception.

Lindsay looked out of this world with her brown locks in loose curls as she rocked a simple silk gown. He also posted a snap of the two giving each other a smooch after officially becoming husband and wife.

Friends rushed to the comment section to congratulate the happy couple, with Eric’s onscreen husband Jesse Tyler Ferguson posting: “Of all second marriages, this one is my favorite! I love you both! I’m so happy for you!!!!”

Rico Rodriguez, who played Manny Delgado, posted a few partying face emojis. Hollywood icon Octavia Spencer said: “Congratulations! So happy for you both,” while Brooklyn Nine-Nine star Joel McKinnon Miller posted: “So happy for you. Congratulations!”

In July, Eric revealed his plans to tie the knot in their Kansas City home after getting engaged in 2021.

He said to People: “Well, I’ve said we’re building a house to host a wedding, and we’re still on track to do that. We’re almost done with the house, and that’s been our plan all along.”

“We got engaged and then all of a sudden got an opportunity to build a house, and I thought, no better way to start a relationship than literally building a foundation. So that’s our plan and we’re still on track for that.”

When the couple first got engaged, their were a few people who criticised their seven-year age gap.

In response, he hilariously tweaked one of the images from his announcement to make Lindsay look a lot older.

Alongside the picture, he wrote: “Apparently a lot of people think I look too old, as a 49 year old man, to be engaged to my almost 42 year old fiancé [sic].

“Look, she can’t help that she looks so great at 42 and I can’t help that I apparently look like her grandad so, I fixed it for everyone.”
