Ferguson, who played uptight lawyer Mitchell Pritchett on the hit series Modern Family, and Mikita, a real-life lawyer, became engaged in 2012 when the two vacationed in Mexico after being together nearly two years.

The couple tied the knot in July 2013 at a ceremony in downtown New York City, with playwright Tony Kushner officiating.

"Some highlights from my birthday. Thank you for the well wishes," he wrote on Instagram alongside photographs featuring the couple, their 2-year-old son Beckett Mercer and friends who were also in attendance.
