Sarah Hyland and Wells Adams could tie the knot in a courthouse if the coronavirus pandemic continues to prevent them from having their dream wedding.
Sarah Hyland and Wells Adams
The ‘Modern Family’ star and her fiancé originally planned to tie the knot in 2020, but after the pandemic struck they deemed it unsafe, especially as Sarah’s 2018 kidney transplant means she has to take medication which compromises her immune system, putting her at greater risk of developing complications if she were to contract COVID-19.
But after pushing back their wedding to this summer, Wells has said he now isn’t sure if those plans will be viable either, as the virus continues to spread around the world.
He explained: "I don't know if a lot of your fans know this, but [Sarah is] immunocompromised. She's a transplant recipient, so she takes pills so that she doesn't reject this new kidney in her body. We have to be super careful about the pandemic, more so than most people our age. We had to push it the first time around, that was tough. The thought was to push it to this year.
“If this thing continues and we're not able to do it, we'll do a courthouse. I’m really pushing for Vegas - powder blue suits, Elvis officiant.”
Although a courthouse wedding isn’t what the couple had originally planned, Wells insisted they will definitely be tying the knot at some point in 2021.
He added during an appearance on the ‘Click Bait with Bachelor Nation’ podcast: "We're getting married this year. I just don't know how this looks.”
Wells, 36, and Sarah, 29, began dating in 2017 and got engaged two years later.
The couple were supposed to tie the knot on August 20, and Sarah previously revealed she took "fake wedding pictures" on the day she was supposed to get married.
She said: "We were going to get married 8/20/20 and it’s not happening anymore, but what can you do?
It was my first time out of my house in quarantine, and we went to a winery and we went with all of our friends - all of us got tested - our family, our best man, maid of honour.
"I brought a white dress and a veil I got on Etsy and my bridesmaids got a real wedding bouquet and surprised me and we took fake wedding pictures for fun."
