In a recent appearance on ‘TODAY with Hoda and Jenna,’ Eric Stonestreet, the well-known Modern Family alum, opened up about the specifics of his engagement to Lindsay Schweitzer. The 52-year-old actor disclosed the details of the proposal and the subsequent developments.
During the interview, Stonestreet revealed the clever ploy he used to propose. “I tricked her pretty good. I convinced her that a company was interested in us working together for an ad campaign. So, we were doing a little test video, and I had the camera set up in front of her.” He added, “And then in the middle of it, I just pulled out the ring. So it was all captured. She was in hair and makeup.”
However, the engagement didn’t start with an immediate “yes.” Stonestreet shared, “At first, she said no, and then I talked her into it. It was great. It all turned out great!”
In a previous interview with PEOPLE in September, Stonestreet and Schweitzer outlined their vision for the upcoming wedding. They plan to celebrate surrounded by family and friends at their future home in Kansas City, Kansas, a residence currently under construction.
“We’re not in wedding planning now; we’re building a house,” Stonestreet clarified. “I think what we’ve decided we want to do is build a nice house to host a wedding.” He further explained, “That’s the goal — to have our friends be able to come and enjoy a nice party and a great time. You know, I don’t know how often I’m gonna get all my friends to Kansas City. So I would like to do a housewarming and a wedding at the same time. I think that would be great.”
Currently engrossed in the construction of their future home, Stonestreet and Schweitzer closely monitor the progress. Stonestreet humorously shared, “I enjoy waking up and going and checking on the progress and working on the property and mowing grass. I mean, I’ve mowed a tremendous amount of grass.” Embracing the rural life, he added, “This year I’ve become very proficient at knowing trails … I have my own little UTV that I drive around and cut limbs off so I can go under trees.”
In essence, Eric Stonestreet’s engagement journey unfolds with a mix of humor, unconventional tactics, and a vision for a celebration that blends the warmth of home with the joy of matrimony. As the construction progresses, so does the anticipation for a wedding that promises to be as unique as the love that sparked it.
