Jesse Tyler Ferguson Plans New York Wedding

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Television, Engagements, Weddings,

Jesse Tyler Ferguson will marry in New York this summer.

The Modern Family actor - who proposed to his boyfriend Justin Mikita in July but only announced it in September - wants to tie the knot in the city because it supports gay marriage.

"We wanted to get married in New York, because that's where it's legal, so we want to support the state that's in support of us. It will take place in a beautiful loft space. It's so nice -- I can't wait to see it all done. The guest list is around the 200 mark -- which to me seems big -- but people are telling me it's not that bad," he said.

Jesse, 37, and 27-year-old Justin - who have been dating for two years - hope their union will eventually be considered official everywhere in the United States, where current marriage status between couples of the same sex is different from state to state.

Jesse Tyler Ferguson Will Marry in 2013

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Television, Weddings,

Jesse Tyler Ferguson will tie the knot next year. The Modern Family star and his lawyer fiance Justin Mikita have hired a wedding planner to help them put the big day together and just hope they can find a venue in time.

"I did go get a Martha Stewart Weddings magazine but it's really a lot of over-the-top stuff, a lot of bridesmaids' gifts. Neither one of us ever dreamed of getting married. Maybe in the back of our heads we did, but we don't have a book of our dream wedding... It's a lot of learning as we go... It's about the venue," Jesse, 36, told E! News.

Jesse and Justin have just launched their own line bow ties, through their Tie the Knot Foundation, which supports the fight for marriage equality. "It's just a fun way to spruce up an outfit. Men don't get fun, exciting things to wear," he said.

They worked together on the project and Justin said it was easy because they both have different approaches to their work: "I adore Jesse in all ways and I think we are very compatible personally and business-wise. He's much more creative and I'm more business-oriented. I get stressed out and have certain ways of doing things and Jesse can deal with it for the most part and that's half the battle."

Modern Family star Jesse Tyler Ferguson has gotten engaged. The actor - who plays lawyer Mitchell Pritchett in the hit comedy - proposed to long-term boyfriend Justin Mikita, who happily accepted his romantic offer.

In a video posted on the website for the newly created foundation Tie the Knot, which supports the fight for marriage equality, Jesse said, "It's true, I popped the big Q," to which Justin replies: "I said yes!"

Jesse, 36, and 27-year-old Mikita - who have been dating for nearly two years - hope their union will eventually be considered official everywhere in the United States. They've also teamed up with Tie Bar to create a collection of bowties with all proceeds being donated to various organizations to help gay and lesbian couples receive civil rights.

While Jesse is now engaged, his Modern Family co-star and on-screen boyfriend Eric Stonestreet recently split from his long-term girlfriend.
