Eric Stonestreet Married in Private Family Ceremony

Eric Stonestreet exchanged vows with his wife, Lindsay Schweitzer, during an intimate, family-only wedding held at their Kansas City, Missouri home. The ceremony took place on September 8, with the news shared the following day via Instagram. Stonestreet explained on a podcast that the couple decided to keep the wedding private, informing only their immediate family.

Friends and former co-stars, including Jesse Tyler Ferguson, were not invited and learned of the marriage shortly before it became public knowledge. Stonestreet called selected individuals before the ceremony to inform them of the non-invitation. Even Schweitzer's twin sons were unaware of the wedding until the day it occurred.

Stonestreet indicated that they might host a larger celebration in the future to include friends and colleagues. This approach aimed to maintain the privacy of the occasion while ensuring loved ones were informed promptly. The actor described the surprise reactions from relatives as 'hilarious.'
