Cam And Mitch Proposal Trends During Modern Family Season Premiere

The season premiere of Modern Family featured a marriage proposal that wouldn’t have been possible just months ago.

Following the U.S. Supreme Court’s June decision allowing same-sex marriage in California, Cameron (Eric Stonestreet) and Mitchell (Jesse Tyler Ferguson) have taken the plunge.

In June 2013, the U.S. Supreme Court decided in favour of allowing same-sex marriage in California, paving the way for two of television’s most lovable gay characters to finally get married.

During the premiere of ‘Modern Family’ Season 5, Mitchell (Jesse Tyler Ferguson) and Cameron (Eric Stonestreet) proposed to each other at the same time after both wanting to be the first person to propose. In an interview in THR this week, Jeffrey Richman, writer of ‘Modern Family’, said…

“Mitch and Cam have been in a relationship for eight years, they already are a family and they have a daughter, so there needed to be a reason for them to get married. This (the U.S. Supreme Court verdict) became the ‘why now’.”

Richman also revealed that he had tears in his eyes while writing the Cam and Mitch proposal, saying, ”As I started writing, I became unexpectedly emotional. I teared up writing it. I teared up hearing it read.”

Following the broadcast of the Cam and Mitch proposal, the hashtag #congratscamandmitch began trending, with ‘Modern Family’ fans tweeting their excitement about the news…
