If you’re a Modern Family fan, then you’ll be aware that Mitchell and Cam are about to tie the knot and the show’s network orchestrated a completely adorable stunt to celebrate.

The network announced on Good Morning America that the show would cover the cost of all marriage licenses and wedding ceremonies taking place today, Monday 12 April, at the New York City Clerk’s office.

The on-screen engaged couple, played by Jesse Tyler Ferguson and Eric Stonestreet, appeared on the show to help make the announcement and tease the upcoming nuptials, which will be featured in the finale episodes of the upcoming season.

“It’s a rare opportunity you get as actors. You never think of that when you’re out there auditioning for different parts in TV shows and not getting them, and then to finally get a gig like this that is really, truly, not to put too much importance on it, but owning it a little bit, having social impact, cultural impact. We hear it from kids, we hear that from parents, so we know it’s real.”
