Sofia Vergara and Joe Manganiello wed in a stunning ceremony on Nov. 21, 2015 in Palm Beach, Florida.
Vergara, 43 (“Modern Family”) and Manganiello, 38 (“Magic Mike”), had been dating for six months when they got engaged on Christmas Day in 2014. Manganiello proposed to Vergara with a beautiful seven-carat emerald cut engagement ring during a Christmas vacation for Manganiello’s birthday in Hawaii. The pair has been together since July of 2014. It appears the couple had a fairytale whirlwind romance ever since they first began dating.
The couple first met in passing at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner in May of 2014. Vergara announced later that same month that her engagement to previous fiancé, Nick Loeb, had been called off. Manganiello told PEOPLE, in their June 2014 Hottest Bachelor issue, that Vergara was his celebrity crush. It’s clear he was smitten with Vergara for quite some time.
This is Vergara’s second marriage and Manganiello’s first. Vergara’s son, Manolo Gonzalez-Ripoll Vergara, from her first marriage (to Joe Gonzalez), walked her down the aisle while the instrumental of Amanda McBroom’s “The Rose” played. The couple had their first dance to Frank Sinatra’s “The Way You Look Tonight.”
The pair wed in a gorgeous ceremony that took place on Sunday at the Breakers Resort. Vergara designed her dress alongside Zuhair Murad, who has designed many of her red carpet gowns. The star wanted to be sexy, in a dress that would photograph well, for her wedding telling PEOPLE in September, “I think I’m past that virgin look.”
Among the guests were Vergara’s “Hot Pursuit” co-star, Reese Witherspoon; her “Modern Family” co-stars, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Julie Bowen and Ed O’Neill; co-founder of Marchesa, Georgina Chapman; and Manganiello’s “Magic Mike” co-star, Matt Bomer. Manganiello’s fellow “True Blood” alums, Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer were also in attendance for the special day.
E! News is also reporting that Manganiello’s “Magic Mike” co-star Channing Tatum was in attendance to perform for Vergara. It seems that the pair took to the dance floor with some of their signature “Magic Mike” dance moves while, “I Want It That Way,” by the Backstreet Boys played. Surprise guest Pitbull gave a stellar performance of his song, “Fireball,” during the couple’s reception. The weekend was clearly full of love, family and friends.
Vergara and Manganiello didn’t give the paparazzi a chance to sneak photos of the event, and they didn’t sell the photos to a magazine either. Vergara posted pictures from the wedding on all of her social media accounts. The couple’s celebrity wedding guests even used the hashtags "Jofia" and "Jofiawedding" to tag the couple and event. Celebrities — they’re just like the rest of us!
The couple held a post-wedding brunch for guests the following morning. Guests used the couple’s hashtag on Instagram to show off the morning’s activities. Along with the delectable food, guests were treated to a bloody mary station. The couple also had adorable coffee cups with “a cup of” written above Manganiello’s face for guests to use.
The Odyssey wishes the gorgeous couple the best as they begin this new chapter of their lives together!
