Vergara to go big with wedding

Actor changes mind for fiancé Joe Manganiello as it’s his first marriage

LOS ANGELES: Actor Sofia Vergara wants a ‘big’ wedding to please her fiancé Joe Manganiello. The Modern Family star initially asked the Magic Mike XXL actor to tie the knot with her at a ‘small’ ceremony in Las Vegas, but then she changed her mind because he has never been married before.

“I said, ‘Joe, let’s just go to Vegas’, because I wanted a small wedding, but then I thought it has to be super-special for Joe because it’s his first marriage. So, it’s going to have to be big,” said the 42-year-old. This will be Vergara’s second marriage as she was previously married to Joe Gonzalez, with whom she has a 23-year-old son, Manolo.

The Colombian beauty was engaged to businessman Nick Loeb until May 2014 and after Joe, 38, publicly admitted she was his crush, the pair publicly embarked upon a romantic journey. Vergara thinks she has been able to find love with Joe because she knows what she wants now that she’s in her 40s.

“The important thing about ageing is that now you know more about life so you can make better choices, such as with Joe, but not just because he’s hot. I’ve been out with short, tall, skinny, fat... I don’t have a problem with any of that,” she said. No date is set for the couple’s wedding yet, but they plan to get married sometime this year.
