No, Sofia Vergara didn't rush off and marry new fiancé Joe Manganiello just yet.

Newly released photos of the Modern Family star, 42, depict her wedding with José Gonzalez, her first husband and the father of her adult son, Manolo. The 1991 photographs show Vergara, who was just 18, wearing a traditional white gown with pearls, gloves, and classic red lipstick. And she looked absolutely gorgeous. Clearly, this woman doesn't age!

At the time, Vergara was still living in her native Colombia. She had already filmed a popular commercial for Pepsi there — she was discovered on the beach when she was 17 — but was far from a household name. She even enrolled in dental school for a while.

Unfortunately, her marriage to Gonzalez didn't work out. They divorced in 1993 but have remained "close friends," she told Parade in July 2011.

The brunette beauty eventually returned to modeling and acting and became well known in Latin America, before she took her talents to the U.S. in the mid-'90s. Vergara snagged her signature role as Gloria Pritchett in 2009.
