Robin Roberts is ramping up preparations for her upcoming magical wedding to her longtime partner Amber Laign after about 18 years together.

The Good Morning America host and her co-stars listened in on a story about two women who shared a wedding dress across the globe, deemed the "sisterhood of the traveling wedding dress."

After remarking over how sweet the story was, Robin coyly asked: "Aww, who needs a wedding dress, I don't know…"

While she sat there and pretended to ponder the question, the rest of the studio erupted in laughter, the loudest most definitely coming from co-host George Stephanopoulos.

It was then that Lara Spencer chimed in, simply saying: "We'll talk," which had Robin chuckling, implying that maybe some wedding dress sharing could happen between them.

It was immediately after returning from the holiday break on 2 January that Robin shared that she and Amber were finally going to tie the knot this year.

"I'm hesitating, because I haven't said it out loud yet," she said on the show, before continuing: "I'm saying yes to marriage, we're getting married this year."

It was clear that members of the studio were surprised by the news, applauding Robin and audibly gasping as she fanned herself with her cue cards, clearly overwhelmed by the moment.

And when the show returned from commercial break, co-host George admitted that it would be hard to move to the next segment without acknowledging the "wonderful, wonderful news!"

Robin responded: "We've been talking about it, and then to actually say it out loud, I'm very excited," to which he quipped: "Well, welcome to the club."
