Jenni "JWo" Farley It's been a long way since the Seaside Heights party house. The "Jersey Shore" star is still filming "Jersey Shore: Family Vacation," has a thriller called "Nanny Cam" in the works, and now she has some big news to share. She and professional wrestler Zach Carpinello officially married!
The guests arrived expecting a film premiere. Instead, they found themselves at a wedding.
The reality TV star's wedding was decorated in a Disney theme.
Jenny and Zach managed to keep things under wraps, inviting just 50 guests to what they thought was a screening of "The Nanny on Camera" on June 24th. Guests received film-themed invitations, saw matching signs, and were greeted with a red-carpet-like ceremony.
When everyone arrived at Madison Modern Social in Old Bridge, New Jersey, the surprise was finally revealed. The local mayor, who was also hosting the ceremony, revealed the secret.
Jenny told PEOPLE, "We envisioned a small but meaningful celebration dedicated to the people who matter most to us." She continued, "We didn't want to throw the grandest wedding. We wanted a memorable moment shared with our closest family and friends. The goal was to create memories, not to throw a huge event.".
The couple completely immersed themselves in their dark, fairytale atmosphere. Ruby-red details, rose gold accents, candles, and romantic floral arrangements transformed the venue into what Jenny described as "a modern Beauty and the Beast fairytale with a dark, romantic twist.".
They also made sure Jenny's two children, Meilani and Grayson, played a key role in the celebration. Zach gave Meilani a ruby ring corresponding to her birth month, and surprised Grayson with a football-themed gift.
«"This wedding is about our family, not just the two of us," the newlyweds shared.
Guests spent the evening dancing and mingling, without a formal dinner to interrupt the party. Waiters served food and drinks so everyone could stay on the dance floor. The evening concluded with slices of a tiered cake decorated with stunning red roses.
Jenny and Zach will begin their family life with a trip to Italy and Switzerland in the company of close friends.
The final season of the reality show Jersey Shore: Family Vacation airs Thursdays at 8/7c on MTV. Jersey Shore is also available to watch on Paramount+.
