Jesse Tyler Fergusonis revisiting a favorite moment from his wedding to his husband of 9 years,Justin Mikita.
TheModern Familystar, 47, wed Mikita in 2013. Looking back on that joyous day, the longtime couple exclusively tells PEOPLE they’ll never forget the stroll they took with friends following their nuptials.
“We got married on a very hot night in July in NYC,” recalls Mikita. “We held an afterparty at a hotel a few blocks away from the wedding venue.”
Ferguson then shares, “It was always our plan to have people parade over to the afterparty. Our wedding planner, Bryan Rafanelli, had the great idea of handing out noisemakers to guests so we could keep the vibe alive on the walk over to the new venue.”
“It was a Saturday night in SoHo,” Mikita adds. “It was already loud on the streets!”
