By 2017, Wells and Sarah had shared a few flirty exchanges on Twitter, now known as X, and by September, they'd gone on their first date at a pre-Emmys benefit. 

Sarah was the first one to make their relationship Instagram official with a sweet post in November. Sharing a black-and-white photo alongside her new boyfriend, the Modern Family star wrote: "He puts up with me."

Reflecting on their first meeting, Wells told PEOPLE: "The internet — it's amazing. I'm amazed how smart the internet is because I just assume everyone on Twitter is an idiot, and then I'm like, 'Wow!'"

Speaking to Vogue, Sarah revealed that she chose two different wedding dresses from Vera Wang for her big day. "There was no way I could decide between the two," she said, "so I ended up adding another look to my array of dress moments." As Sarah walked down the aisle, Wells told Vogue: "I'm there weeping like a child. Uncontrollably." 

In a few weeks' time, the couple will celebrate their one-year anniversary as a married couple, and we couldn't be happier for them!
