Sofia Vergara, Joe Manganiello Wow Fans By Defying Celebrity Tradition & Sharing Wedding Online [Photos]


Sofia Vergara and Joe Manganiello deserve awards when it comes to celebrities who don’t fear letting their fans share the glory of their wedding day. From the dazzling dress that Sofia wore to how Vergara stunned Joe, the newlyweds are unveiling every glittery detail of the pre-wedding celebrations, walk down the aisle, and star-studded guest list, reported People.

Manganiello and Sofia were married on Sunday, but the celebration began early on the weekend as relatives and pals, including the co-stars of Modern Family, headed to the Breakers Resort in Palm Beach, Florida, to party non-stop. Reese Witherspoon co-starred with Sofia in Hot Pursuit, and the Legally Blonde actress took time from her busy schedule to attend, as did Jesse Tyler Ferguson.

Known for her bombshell body, Vergara wowed in a Mark Zunino dress for the Saturday night cocktail reception, according to ET.

The designer dished up all the details of how Joe reacted when he saw Sofia.

“Joe did not come in with her [to the fitting], I think he was out doing his own shopping, but Sofia just wanted to make sure that she felt that he would just love it when he saw it on her,” revealed Zunino. “Somebody messaged me from the wedding when she had put it on, and said that his eyes just fell out of his head [when he saw her]. He thought she looked so sexy.”

In addition, the designer revealed that Vergara just wanted to have fun with her wedding instead of turning into a bridezilla nightmare.

“She’s not one of those brides that worry about everything. She just knew she wanted to have fun, and I just think everything just fell in place because of it,” added Zunino.

And thanks to Sofia’s willingness to share her wedding on social media, fans had fun as well in viewing all the glamour of Vergara and Manganiello, pointed out the New York Daily News.

“I am so happy that she shared these pictures with her fans and not the media,” praised one fan after enjoying the photos.

Details included the dramatic wedding gown that Sofia chose. Vergara wore a custom strapless Zuhair Murad Couture gown that included a regal detachable skirt. It didn’t seem like winter because the aisle blossomed with white roses, orchids, and hydrangeas. Even the first dance and decision from Joe to serenade his true love with Guns N’ Roses’ “Sweet Child O’Mine” was thoughtfully shared on social media.

“This was a truly brilliant, and beautiful move,” praised pop culture analyst Brian Balthazar. “There is something so charming and sweet about Sofia and Joe cutting out the negotiators and the agents and the managers and simply posting their happy day on social media.”

In particular, it’s a striking contrast to the secretive weddings of couples such as Justin Theroux and Jennifer Aniston or even the ceremony of Amal and George Clooney. In contrast to stars who hide their wedding plans as much as possible or sell photos or wait for them to be leaked, Vergara and Manganiello put it all out there.

“Nowadays it seems that celebrity marriages are as much about money as matrimony,” added Balthazar. “Now, when I see a celebrity wedding photo on the cover of a magazine, I think, ‘Wow, I wonder how much money changed hands for that.’ ”

However, Sofia and Joe defied that tradition by inviting the world to their wedding day. And her on Facebook page, Vergara got lots of love in return.

“You are so awesome Sofia,” exclaimed one fan.

“Thank you for sharing such a special moment with us,” added another.

And one fan summed up the reaction.

“So good to see you are sharing all of your happiness and didn’t sell the wedding [photo] to a magazine like some famous people,” pointed out a happy fan.
