It took about 30 seconds for How I Met Your Mother star Neil Patrick Harris, and longtime boyfriend David Burtka, to take advantage of New York’s brand new Marriage Equality Bill:

The two are engaged!

Harris and Burtka have been together since 2004 and are the parents of twins. Here is how they announced their plans to marry via Twitter:

The exciting news also gives us an excuse to post Harris’ concluding rap from this year’s Tony Awards. It was incredibly awesome.
