Three years after their official engagement, the lovely couple, Sarah Hyland and Wells Adams, are officially married!
The Modern Family alum, 31, and Bachelor in Paradise bartender, 38, were married in an outdoor ceremony on Saturday, Aug. 20, at Sunstone Winery near Santa Barbara, California.
The couple were surrounded by loved ones and friends, including Hyland’s Modern Family costars Nolan Gould, Sofia Vergara (who brought her son, Manolo Vergara), Julie Bowen and Jesse Tyler Ferguson (who was joined by his husband, Justin Mikita).
The couple first flirted with a push-and-pull romance on Twitter in 2016, but didn’t date until the fall of 2017 after meeting on social media.
Before Hyland and Adams coupled up, she had been vocal about her not-so-secret crush on him during his time vying for JoJo Fletcher’s heart on season 12 of The Bachelorette in 2016.
The two surprised fans by dressing up in a couple’s Stranger Things costume for Halloween 2017.
Then they documented their adventures together on Snapchat and Instagram, after spending time together in his home base of Nashville and hers in Los Angeles.
Adams even planned a week-long birthday celebration for Hyland that included a rendezvous at Disneyland. In December 2017, they selected and decorated their first Christmas tree together.
Adams proposed to Hyland in summer 2019 after almost two years of dating. The couple originally planned to wed in August 2020, but delayed the nuptials multiple times due to COVID-19 concerns amid the pandemic.
In August 2021, Adams said that he and Hyland were hoping to get married in 2022, but he also joked that they were “gonna go to Vegas or the courthouse” to wed if another setback hit.
“We were supposed to get married obviously last year, that didn’t happen. We were supposed to get married this year, that didn’t happen,” Adams said. “So now we are hoping next year, or we’re gonna go to Vegas, or the courthouse, I don’t know. Well, we’re not going to do those last two things, but I don’t know. 2022 has got to be our year, right?!”
Last month Hyland talked about her wedding day and what she’s most looking forward to when it comes to being married.
“We are practical,” she said. “We own a house together. We have our dogs together, and we’ve been celebrating this journey of life supporting one another for almost five years now. So I don’t think a lot is going to change.”
Hyland also insisted that she was taking planning for the couple’s special day “one step at a time” and didn’t “really have a lot of time to think about it.”
“I’m really excited to be able to put down on paper and officially start our family,” she added.
