Just as the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that Proposition 8, which banned same-sex marriage in the state of California, was unconstitutional, one of TV's most famous fictional gay couples appealed to the better angels of their Twitter followers.

Both Jesse Tyler Ferguson and Eric Stonestreet, who play partners Mitch and Cam on ABC's Emmy-winning sitcom "Modern Family," posted a photo on their WhoSay accounts asking "How could you not want to see us tie the knot?"

After Tuesday's ruling, it looks like no matter who doesn't want to see them get hitched, there's nothing they can do to stop it. Wedding episode, anyone?
