Stonestreet also defended the couple's decision to host their wedding at Madison Square Garden.
He said, "I think that Travis and Taylor created a night for themselves and their guests that was special and unique in only the way they could."
"Show me another place where they could have a private moment like anybody else would deserve to have at a wedding, where they don't have helicopters and hot air balloons and dirigibles floating over them trying to get video."

Stonestreet said he and his wife were "struck" by how "fantastical" yet "normal" the wedding was.
He explained, "Given we've been to a lot of weddings where there are lots of things the bride does and lots of things the groom does, we just felt like they created a night that felt normal in these extraordinary situations."
The actor added, "We were just happy for them."
