The 'Modern Family' actress is preparing to tie the knot with actor Manganiello and her 'Hot Pursuit' co-star is one of a group of friends assisting with organising the lavish nuptials, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

"Joe and I are both trying to figure out the wedding because our schedules are so crazy. We initially wanted a small wedding, but it didn't work out with how many people we wanted there, so we want it really big now. Reese is helping, as are all my girlfriends,"Sofia Vergara said.

Sofia Vergara, who has a 21-year-old son Manolo from a previous relationship, also admitted she is open to having children with Manganiello.

"I'm 43 and have a son, but Joe doesn't have children and is younger than me so I've not ruled out having a family together. I'll leave it up to god to see what happens," she was quoted as saying by Closer magazine.

Despite her success, the actress credits her family and friends for helping her stay grounded.

"I try to make work just one part of my life, not the whole thing," she said, and added: "I try to enjoy what I do, make it real and bring my friends and family along to enjoy it - the money, my house, the events. Life goes fast so you can't take work too seriously. I hope my job and fame haven't changed me."
