As people all across America are celebrating the legalisation of gay marriage in New York, How I Met Your Mother star Neil Patrick Harris has taken the step already.
He will soon tie the knot with partner, David Burtka. Harris, 38, who plays the womanising Barney Stinson in the hit American sitcom, is planning to say 'I do' after the passing of the historic bill, reported US magazine.
"David and I did propose to each other, but over five years ago! We've been wearing engagement rings for ages, waiting for an available date," Harris wrote on Twitter.
Prior to passing of the bill by the New York state senate and governor Andrew Cuomo on Friday, Harris tweeted that he'd "sure love to get married".
