Reese Witherspoon has been helping plan her pal Sofia Vergara’s upcoming nuptials to the spunky Magic Mike star Joe Manganiello.

“We’ve already talked about the wedding, we have a lot of plans,” Reese told US television station Extra on the red carpet at the Oscars this week.

“I gotta help, I’ve gotta be there for my girl! So I’m excited!” Reese said.

If Reese’s party-planning skills are as good as her infamous partying-hard skills, we’re sure that would be one fun wedding to attend!

Reese, 38 is starring alongside Modern Family star Sofia in madcap comedy Hot Pursuit, which features the two gorgeous gals on a road-trip as the odd pairing of an inept police officer and a drug dealer’s widow.

Reese couldn’t help but gush about her gorgeous co-star either: “Sofia Vergara is SO funny – as you know – but I can’t wait for people to see her in a movie. It’s just a great new character for her to play and I think people will love it!”

The pair have shared snaps from the movie to their Instagram and it looks like it will be a riot.

A glimpse at Sofia and Reese’s new comedy Hot Pursuit – out later this year. 

Meanwhile, Sofia’s fiancé Joe Manganiello has his own blockbuster movie coming out soon – Magic Mike XXL – the sequel to the raunchy male-stripper movie. Unfortunately that film’s immense popularity means that the couple’s wedding has had to be postponed.

“We wanted to get married this summer, but Joe will be busy working and promoting ‘Magic Mike 2,’” Sofia, 42, explained to the New York Post at the Vanity Fair Oscars after-party.

“We wanted to get married at a time when we can get away and make time for a honeymoon. So the wedding will probably be later this year.”

Joe, also chipped in, jokingly adding: “I would love to get married this summer, but I’m going to be too busy promoting my male stripper movie!”

Joe, 38, popped the question to Sofia as the pair holidayed in Hawaii over the Christmas period.

Their relationship has been something of a whirlwind as the pair only first began dating in July last year but it seems they’re already bursting to put a ring on it! Lucky they have Reese to help with their plans for the big day!
