The soon to be Mr. and Mrs. Joe Manganiello made their redcarpet debut as an engaged couple at the Screen Actors Guild awards on Sundayin Los Angeles. While all eyes were on the red hot couple, it was what was on Sofia Vergara’s left ring finger that had people talking — especially Reese Witherspoon.

The ladies, who star in the upcoming Hot Pursuit, met up on the carpet while chatting with E!’s Maria Menounos. As Reese — who waslovely in a white Giorgio Armani gown — was finishing up her interview, shesaw Sofia waiting by the stairs and urged her to join the chat. But, before the sexy Colombian got upon the platform, she grabbed Jennifer Aniston (remember her grabbing KateHudson’s rear at the Golden Globes?) and patted Reese on the behind.
“I wanted to touch her bum, it looked so great in thisdress,” said the Modern Family actress, looking red hot in Donna Karan Atelier. Hernew BFF Reese couldn’t help but dote on her as well. “There are just so manythings I want to grab on her; I need to control myself.”

And while the two, who became super close on the set in NewOrleans last year, mentioned that there is a kiss in the movie, don’t worry Joe — Sofia onlyhas eyes for you.
The conversation quickly turned to Sofia’s jewelry. “Onehand is Kay Jewelers and this is the 'love' hand,” she exclaimed as she showedher sparkly, huge engagement ring.
Maria asked Sofia about the new engagement, and she replied,“We’re very happy, very excited. I don’t believe it.”
As for when the big day will be? "We're trying to figure it out because… he's shooting and promoting Magic Mike this summer and I'm promoting my movie with Reese Witherspoon and so we're kinda busy, but we're trying to do it maybe [in the] fall, Sofia shared with Access Hollywood's Shaun Robinson. "Summer is going to be too crazy."
Don't think for a second that the beauty and her equally handsome man will keep this wedding small. "It's big. We started, like, 'It's only 20.' Yeah right! It's like now there's like pages and pages," she said.
The couple, who have been dating since May, got engaged over Christmas in Hawaii.
