Colombia-born film star Sofia Vergara, America's highest-paid TV actress, tied the knot Sunday in what the entertainment world called the celebrity wedding of the year. The "Modern Family" star pledged her eternal love to fellow actor Joe Manganiello at "The Breakers" a swank Palm Beach resort, before of a gathering of friends and family, the culmination of a weekend-long wedding celebration.

Vergara posted photos from her nuptials on Instagram, including various pictures showing the curvaceous 43-year old actress in her torso-hugging, strapless lace bridal gown with plunging neckline. She carried a bouquet of white orchids and wore her famous flowing mane loose, aside from a jeweled clip which pinned it to one side. Among the stars at her nuptials were Hollywood's Reese Witherspoon, Channing Tatum and the cast of her hit television show "Modern Family." Vergara's son from a previous marriage, Manolo, 23, walked her down the aisle.

For the past few years, the Colombian-born bombshell has been America's top-earning TV star. In 2014, Forbes magazine estimated she made, $37 million, considerably more than the top paid actor, Ashton Kutcher, who earned some $26 million. Vergara reportedly makes $325,000 an episode for "Modern Family," but earns much more from endorsements including being the face of Diet Pepsi. Manganiello is famous for his roles in the hit movie "Magic Mike" and the TV series "How I Met Your Mother." The couple met about a year and a half ago, and got engaged last December during a Hawaiian vacation.

1,657 hours-wedding dress

The 'Modern Family' actress worked closely with designer Zuhair Murad on the gown she wore to marry Joe Manganiello in Palm Beach, Florida, yesterday and the stunning design required 32 people to work around the clock to complete it on time. The 43-year-old beauty had previously said she wanted to look "sexy" and the designer hoped his white, strapless, silk-tulle creation - which had a sweetheart neckline, hand-embroidered 3D embellishments, detachable skirt and pearl beaded belt - did just that by showing off her "famous curves". Zuhair told People magazine: "I was delighted to have the opportunity to collaborate with Sofia on her dream wedding gown.

"I wanted Sofia to look phenomenal on her wedding day, showing off her hourglass physique and enhancing her famous curves. She expressly said that she wanted to look sexy, so I created a design that blended soft sensuality from the transparencies of tulle with the ornate glamour of ornamented embroideries and mini pearls." The gown was made even more eye-catching thanks to the addition of 6lbs of pearls and 11lbs of sequins in the intricate bead work, and Sofia teamed the dress with 55 carat diamond earrings by Lorraine Schwarz, as well as more gems by the same designer in her hair and on her wrist.- Agencies
