    The wedding location was special to the couple as it was exactly where Eric had always imagined it to be. In an interview with People in July, Eric and Lindsay had said that they planned to get married in their Kansas City home. “We got engaged and then all of a sudden got an opportunity to build a house, and I thought, no better way to start a relationship than literally building a foundation,” Eric had said.

    Eric Stonestreet’s Love Story

    A love story for the booksEric Stonestreet

    Their love story had begun in June 2017 when the two had met at the Big Slick charity weekend in Kansas City after which People had confirmed two months later that the actor was dating the Pediatric nurse. By September of the same year, Eric was seen gushing about Lindsay on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, saying, “She calms me—she calms my nerves. I’m a very high-strung person.”


    The couple dated for more than five years before the Modern Family Star popped the question to Lindsay in August. He later admitted he took his time to propose marriage, but he knew she was the one. “Everybody else that knows Lindsay was like, ‘What are you waiting for?’ So, it was time,” he had told People. Eric’s proposal was simple, and he called it “not a big production” but a moment that was special and was just for the two of them.

    Putting together a homegrown title at a time when the demise of print has been long announced may seem surprising...
    ...but it has long been a dream of mine to give India a magazine it deserves. A magazine that is the country.

    And nothing, absolutely nothing, represents India more than our weddings.It is a time when families are brought together. Traditions come alive as they are adapted to each couple's beliefs. And lives are joined in a way that the romantic in me still enjoys.
