Robin Roberts will tie the knot with her longtime partner very soon

Good Morning America's Robin Roberts was seen choking back tears while revealing some exciting wedding details.

Robin, 62, and her fiancée Amber Laign, 48, have been engaged since last year. But despite the couple's engagement taking place mere months ago and their wedding due to take place very soon, the couple have in fact been together for over 18 years.

And now with the pair's wedding just a fortnight away, the couple have given fans a glimpse into their big plans for their big day. In an emotional segment on Good Morning America on Monday. At the start of the clip, which was aptly named Road to the Ring, Robin could be seen at a dress fitting.

The longtime couple first met in 2005 on a blind date set up by mutual friends and have been together ever since

It was revealed in the clip that designers Mark Badgley and James Mischka designed both Robin and Amber's dresses, with the American broadcaster close to welling up at the fitting appointment. Trying on her gown in the video, some of the details were kept from the viewers so as not to spoil the surprise.

It was then revealed she and Amber would do their final fittings separately as she wanted them to see each other in their completed looks for the first time on their wedding day. Speaking to the cameras, Robin gushed: "It’s been fun watching sweet Amber. Just watching her get emotional and having fun and giggling. That’s been the best part of it."

Meanwhile, another clip saw Amber confess: "I never really thought I would be doing this. Just having it all unfold, discovering parts of myself I didn’t really know were there, it’s been fun." And then, following the dress fitting, the duo then took part in a cake-tasting session with cake designer Vincenzo Salvatore.

The couple's engagement was announced earlier this year

At the end of the clip, Robin told the viewers that watching her wife-to-be was her "favourite part" of the whole experience. "Watching Amber. She is just– I’m sorry. She is just– we are just deliriously happy. And going through all that we both have gone through– Sorry, I start getting emotional," she added.

Robin then concluded: "But thank you to our viewers. Thank you to people for their well-wishes. They know what we’ve been through, and they’re having fun with us. And that’s why we’re sharing as much as we are."
