It's about time!

Four months after Joe Manganiello proposed to Sofía Vergara (following a whirlwind five-month romance), family and friends hosted an engagement party at Soho House in West Hollywood Saturday. Vergara shared two pictures from the event via Instagram, writing, "Gracias a mi bella familia por venir!"

The Hot Pursuit star looked red hot in a strapless dress.

The True Blood stud, meanwhile, suited up in all black.

Vergara's 22-year-old son, Manolo Gonzalez Vergara, posted a photo of Arnold Schwarzenegger making a toast. "Congratulations to these two ugly people. It's so sad, but luckily they have me to aspire to, physically. #Congration #YouDoneIt #HappiestCoupleEver #EngagementParty #PapaJoeVolume2 #TerminatorGaveASpeech #HostedByBarryPeele," he joked on Instagram.

Manganiello co-starred with Schwarzenegger in the 2014 movie Sabotage, fulfilling his lifelong dream of working with the bodybuilder-turned-actor. "I grew up with a poster of Arnold, and all the other Mr. Olympias, on my wall," he once told Vanity Fair of their bromantic relationship.

Schwarzenegger will likely score a wedding invite.

After all, the guest list has ballooned since Manganiello's fiancée began planning their wedding in December 2014. Last week, Vergara told Ryan Seacrest that they have settled on a wedding date. "It was kind of difficult because we're both working, and you never know what's going to come in our work," she said. "But we had to stick to it because it was impossible to book a place with short notice."

The Modern Family star also explained why it's going to be a "large" wedding, telling the KIIS-FM radio host, "I had to invite like all my family, and Joe has a lot of friends. So it became bigger and bigger and bigger."

Vergara won't have a maid of honor by her side when she ties the knot. "In Latin America, we don't have bridesmaids," the Colombian-American actress recently explained to Cosmopolitan for Latinas. "We only have flower girls."
