Neil Patrick Harris is getting married

Neil Patrick Harris can finally marry his partner David Burtka.

Now that gay marriage has been legalised in New York, How I Met Your Mother plans to get hitched as soon as possible.

“It PASSED! Marriage equality in NY!! Yes!! Progress!! Thank you everyone who worked so hard on this!! A historic night!” he wrote on Twitter.

“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.”

Congrats Neil and David.
