Modern Family’s<\/em> sweetheart vixen\u00a0Sofia Vergara is set to wed Magic Mike\u00a0<\/em>heartthrob\u00a0Joe Manganiello this weekend in a lavish\u00a0beach-side ceremony.<\/p>\n

Sofia. 43, and Joe, 38, will exchange\u00a0vows at the historic\u00a0Breakers Palm Beach resort in Florida and the bride will be walked down the aisle by her 23-year-old son\u00a0Manolo Gonzalez-Vergara.<\/p>\n

About 300\u00a0guests will\u00a0attend the evening\u00a0ceremony which is expected to take place in the grounds of the Italian-Renaissance inspired venue, which is famous for its sweeping oceanfront views.<\/p>\n

“We\u2019re not doing anything crazy,” the Colombian-born\u00a0actress told American talk show host Jimmy Kimmel.\u00a0\u201cWe\u2019re doing a traditional wedding. The one difference that we don\u2019t have, for example, [are] bridesmaids \u2013 we only have flower girls and a ring boy.\u201d<\/p>\n

This will be Vergara’s second marriage. She\u00a0wed her high-school sweetheart, Joe Gonzalez, in a traditional Catholic wedding ceremony in her hometown of Barranquilla in the early ’90s when she was just 18. It will be Joe’s first marriage.<\/p>\n An 18-year-old Sofia Vergara married her high school sweetheart in 1991. Image via Daily Mail Australia<\/a>\n

Sofia and Joe became engaged on Christmas Day,\u00a02014 just months after being introduced at a party by\u00a0friend (and Sophia’s Modern Family<\/em> co-star) Jesse Tyler Ferguson.<\/p>\n

According to the celebrity couple’s simple yet elegant gold \u00a0embossed wedding invitations, they don’t want wedding gifts but are, instead, asking\u00a0that\u00a0donations be made to St Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital.<\/p>\n Sofia Vergara and Joe Managiello’s wedding invitations. Image via

The busy couple enlisted the help of Beverly Hills-based event\u00a0planner Mindy Weiss, who is\u00a0behind other celebrity weddings, including those of Fergie and Josh Duhamel; Ellen Degeneres \u00a0and Portia Rossi, as well as Joe’s Magic Mike co-star Channing Tatum’s nuptials.<\/p>\n

Sofia, whose highly polished red carpet looks always steal the show, is guaranteed to be a stunning bride – and we can’t wait to see what she’ll wear on her big day.<\/p>\n

The actress has recruited Lebanese designer Zuhair Murad<\/a> to create her gown, and her penchant\u00a0for figure-hugging, mermaid-inspired shapes could be an indication of her wedding day look.<\/p>\n

Sofia told People magazine, “I want to look sexy.<\/p>\n

“I want to look great. I want to look good and (wear) something that I know is going to look good in pictures.\u201d<\/p>\n

And we have no doubt she will look amazing!<\/p>\n

UPDATE: We were right. Sofia looked amazing. Here are the wedding pictures!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
