Sarah Hyland likes to keep it in the (Modern) Family.
The actress finally tied the knot with Wells Adams in a gorgeous California vineyard wedding ceremony last week, officiated by none other than her “Modern Family” costar Jesse Tyler Ferguson.
However Ferguson — who played Mitchell Pritchett, Hyland’s character’s uncle, on the show — revealed he wasn’t actually Hyland’s first choice when it came to officiating her wedding.
During a screening of his Netflix film “Ivy + Bean,” streaming Sept. 2, the actor, 46, revealed he replaced his other “Modern Family” costar, Ty Burrell — who plays Hyland’s father in the hit show, as the officiant.
Burrell, 55, was originally supposed to officiate the ceremony, however he was forced to pull out just days before the big day due to a family emergency.
He was ultimately unable to attend.
“I don’t know if people know this, but Ty Burrell was meant to do it, and there was a family emergency,” Ferguson told ET.
“So, I got a phone call 12 days before the wedding, and that’s why Ty wasn’t there, he had stuff going on.”
Some of Hyland’s other “Modern Family” co-stars, including Sofia Vergara, Julie Bowen, Nolan Gould, and Ariel Winter, attended the big event.
“Everyone was invited and not everyone could make it, but I had 12 days, and I was like, ‘Well, no pressure, this is my first time, and then it’s going to be a wedding, and it’s going to be in Vogue magazine, and there’s also going to be paparazzi shots of me from a helicopter, officiating, no pressure,'” he told the outlet.
The actor said Burrell graciously gave him some “bullet points” on what to say during the ceremony.
“He hadn’t written anything up, but he had some ideas, and I was like, ‘Oh, this is all really good. This is a jumping-off place,'” Ferguson added.
Hyland and Adams finally tied the knot more than three years after Adams popped the question. They were originally set to say “I do” in August 2020 but were forced to postpone their wedding twice due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
