"It PASSED," Harris wrote. "Marriage equality in NY!! Yes!! Progress!! Thank you everyone who worked so hard on this!! A historic night!"

Harris's boyfriend (and co-parent to their twins), David Burtka, also had marriage on his mind following the news. After the bill passed a follower told him he should "propose to his boyfriend." Burtka, responded, saying, "I've already [proposed], he said yes! Thank god!"

The Emmy-winning How I Met Your Mother star confirmed the happy news this morning: "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."

And they weren't the only celebs to get in on the engagement action. Andy Cohen, Lance Bass, Alec Baldwin and Steve Martin all tweeted proposals, although they were presumably joking.

Cohen, who was also ecstatic about the bill passing, responded, "Now this is getting REALLY good. Maybe Giggy as ringbearer," the Real Housewives host responded about Beverly Hills franchise star Lisa Vanderpump's Pomeranian pup.
