Sofia Vergara and Joe Manganiello planning a summer wedding?

Los Angeles - Sofia Vergara and Joe Manganiello are planning a "summer wedding".

A source close to the actor revealed: ''Joe is already talking about having a huge summer wedding.

Joe, in particular, is said to be incredibly excited that two of his "dreams" are coming true.
