Manganiello, 38, and Vergara, 43, said their vows after 7:30 p.m. at the Breakers Hotel near Palm Beach, Fla., E! News reported, capping a wedding weekend that included a rehearsal dinner Saturday in the hotel and lots of time around the pool with friends.

The couple's path to their opulent reception Sunday started in May 2014 when they crossed paths at the White House Correspondents' Dinner and then started dating shortly thereafter. He proposed on Christmas Day.

On Sunday, Manolo Gonzalez-Ripoll Vergara walked his mother down the aisle. This was her second marriage and Manganiello's first.

"I know that I don’t like the natural look that some brides do," Vergara told People in September. "I'm 43, I don’t really need to look like a virgin getting married. I want to look sexy. I want to look great."

And look great she did, with some help from 11 pounds of sequins, six pounds of pearls and 55 carats worth of diamond earrings.

The couple's version of "his" guests and "hers" took a little different shape than usual: There were lots of famous faces on hand from his projects "True Blood" and the "Magic Mike" movies, and from her show "Modern Family" and movie "Hot Pursuit."

In Manganiello's corner were, according to various reports, Channing Tatum and wife Jenna Dewan-Tatum as well as Anna Paquin and husband Stephen Moyer. In Vergara's, Reese Witherspoon, Julie Bowen, Ariel Winter, Eric Stonestreet, Sarah Hyland , Ed O'Neill, and Jesse Tyler Ferguson with husband Justin Mikita were spotted.

The night before donning her Zuhair Murad Couture wedding gown, Vergara rocked a short and flirty look for the rehearsal dinner and the party afterward, where the bride, per usual, enjoyed herself on the dance floor. That night, Manganiello grabbed a mike and sang Guns N' Roses' "Sweet Child O' Mine" to his soon-to-be wife.

At the wedding reception Sunday, Manganiello re-created his convenience-store dance from "Magic Mike XXL" for her when the Backstreet Boys' "I Want It That Way" was played, People said. We're imagining he and Tatum cussed less at the wedding than they did for that scene in the movie, however. There was a live band, E! said, and Pitbull made a surprise appearance.

Goodnight!!¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿
