The stars of the hit comedy show ‘Modern Family’ were back together for a special occasion: the wedding of their former co-star Sarah Hyland. The actress, who played Haley Dunphy on the show, tied the knot with her longtime boyfriend Wells Adams, a radio personality and former contestant on ‘The Bachelor’, on Saturday at Sunstone Winery near Santa Barbara, California.
The wedding was attended by many of Hyland’s on-screen family members, including Sofia Vergara (Gloria Delgado-Pritchett), Ed O’Neill (Jay Pritchett), Julie Bowen (Claire Dunphy), Jesse Tyler Ferguson (Mitchell Pritchett), Eric Stonestreet (Cameron Tucker), Ty Burrell (Phil Dunphy), Nolan Gould (Luke Dunphy), and Ariel Winter (Alex Dunphy). Rico Rodriguez (Manny Delgado) and Aubrey Anderson-Emmons (Lily Tucker-Pritchett) were not present at the event.
The cast shared several photos from the wedding on their social media accounts, showing their love and support for Hyland and Adams. Vergara posted two carousels of pictures on her Instagram, one with O’Neill, Ferguson, Stonestreet, and their partners, and another with the whole group, including Burrell, Bowen, Gould, and Winter. She captioned the posts with “With my family❤️❤️❤️” and “We missed u @starringrico @aubreyandersonemmons ❤️❤️❤️”.
Jesse Tyler Ferguson officiated the ceremony and shared a sweet message for the couple
Ferguson, who played Hyland’s uncle on the show, had the honor of officiating the ceremony for his two dear friends. He also shared two photos from the couple’s Vogue photoshoot on his Instagram, writing “I had the best seat in the house for this stunner of a wedding. What an honor to marry my two dear friends @sarahhyland & @wellsadams. I couldn’t be happier for you love bugs. I also do Bar Mitzvahs.”
Ferguson’s husband, Justin Mikita, also posted a photo of the newlyweds on his Instagram, congratulating them on their marriage. He wrote “Congrats to these two beautiful souls on their wedding day! We love you @sarahhyland & @wellsadams! 💕”
The wedding was a fun and festive affair with multiple outfit changes and dancing
According to People, Hyland and Adams exchanged vows in an outdoor ceremony surrounded by family and friends. Hyland wore a strapless white gown with a long veil, while Adams wore a navy suit with a burgundy tie. The bride later changed into a sparkly mini dress for the reception, where she and her groom danced the night away.
Vergara also shared a video of herself dancing with Stonestreet and Ferguson, as well as a photo of Burrell sandwiched between the on-screen couple. She wrote, “We had so much fun!!”
Stonestreet also posted a video of himself and Ferguson giving each other a small kiss as they danced, mimicking their characters’ affectionate gestures. He captioned the video with “Congratulations @sarahhyland and @wellsadams on your beautiful wedding. We love you. @justinmikita and I had a blast and danced all night. And then we kissed.”
The ‘Modern Family’ cast are still close after the show ended in 2020
The ABC sitcom, which ran for 11 seasons from 2009 to 2020, was a huge success, winning 22 Emmy Awards and five Golden Globes. The show followed the lives of three related families, each with their quirks and challenges. The cast became like a real family over the years, and have remained in touch after the show ended.
In September, Vergara, O’Neill, Ferguson, Stonestreet, Burrell, and Hyland had another mini-reunion at a mutual friend’s wedding. They also snapped a group photo, which prompted Winter to comment “@nolangould @starringrico #foreveratthekidstable”.
The cast has also supported each other’s projects and endeavors, such as Vergara’s judging stint on ‘America’s Got Talent’, Ferguson’s Broadway show ‘Take Me Out’, and Hyland’s hosting gig on ‘Bachelor in Paradise’.
