Sofía Vergara and Joe Manganiello Wedding:
When the pair celebrated their seventh anniversary in 2022, the 51-year-old Emmy winner posted a series of throwback photographs from their wedding day, including one couple exchanging vows and dancing at their celebration. At the time, she titled the post "Love U" with a sequence of red love emojis. Manganiello told PEOPLE in August 2020 that he thought he made the correct decision while committing to spend eternity with Vergara.
"I knew pretty quickly that I could trust her, and she knew pretty quickly that she could trust me," he said of their five-year relationship. "And we're both the type of individuals that can put the other person ahead of themselves. I was capable of prioritising her wants over mine, and she was capable of doing the same. You don't let go of it once you've had it."
In November 2015, Vergara and Manganiello married in Palm Beach, Florida. The couple married in front of 400 guests in Palm Beach, including Vergara's "Modern Family" co-stars Ariel Winter, Ed O'Neill, Eric Stonestreet, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Julie Bowen, Sarah Hyland, and Ty Burrell, as well as Manganiello's "True Blood" co-stars Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer.
