Jenni “JWoww” Farley has come a long way from the Seaside Heights party house. The Jersey Shore star is still filming Jersey Shore: Family Vacation, has a thriller called Nanny Cam on the way, and now has another major life update to share. She and pro wrestler Zack Carpinello are officially married!
Their guests showed up expecting a movie premiere. Instead, they walked straight into a wedding.
The reality star’s wedding had a Disney-inspired theme
Jenni and Zack managed to keep the whole thing quiet by inviting just 50 guests to what they thought was a screening of Nanny Cam on June 24. Guests received movie-themed invitations, saw matching signage, and were greeted with a red carpet-style entrance.
Once everyone arrived at Madison Modern Social in Old Bridge, New Jersey, the surprise was finally revealed. The local mayor, who also officiated the ceremony, revealed the secret.
Jenni told PEOPLE, “We envisioned a small, meaningful celebration focused on the people who matter most to us.” She continued, “We weren’t interested in throwing the biggest wedding possible. We wanted an unforgettable moment shared with our closest family and friends. The goal was creating memories, not creating a production.”
The couple leaned fully into their dark fairytale vision. Ruby red details, rose gold accents, candlelight, and romantic florals transformed the venue into what Jenni described as “a modern Beauty and the Beast fairy tale with a dark romance twist.”
They also made sure Jenni’s two children, Meilani and Greyson, played a meaningful role in the celebration. Zack gifted Meilani a ruby birthstone ring, while he surprised Greyson with a soccer-themed present.
“This wedding is about our family, not just the two of us,” the couple shared.
Guests spent the night dancing and mingling without a formal sit-down dinner interrupting the party. Servers circulated food and drinks so everyone could stay on the dance floor. The evening ended with slices of a multi-tiered cake topped with dramatic red roses.
Jenni and Zack will kick off married life with a trip to Italy and Switzerland alongside close friends.
The final season of Jersey Shore: Family Vacation airs Thursdays at 8/7c on MTV. Jersey Shore streams on Paramount+.
