JWoww Marries Zack Carpinello in Surprise New Jersey Wedding After Seven Years Together
Reality TV star Jenni "JWoww" Farley is officially married.
The "Jersey Shore" star and professional wrestler Zack Carpinello tied the knot Wednesday during a surprise wedding at Madison Modern Social in Old Bridge, New Jersey, after seven years together.
According to People, about 50 friends and family members arrived believing they were attending a private screening of Farley's upcoming film, Nanny Cam. Instead, they were met with a surprise wedding ceremony officiated by the town's mayor.
"We envisioned a small, meaningful celebration focused on the people who matter most to us," Farley told People. "We weren't interested in throwing the biggest wedding possible. We wanted an unforgettable moment shared with our closest family and friends."
The couple spent months keeping the ceremony a secret, sending movie-themed invitations and transforming the venue into a red-carpet experience to maintain the illusion of a film premiere.
"We've spent months keeping this secret, creating invitations, planning the movie-themed details and building the surprise," the newlyweds said. "It's a moment we'll never forget."
The ceremony reflected the couple's unconventional style.
Carpinello walked down the aisle to "The Name's Bond... James Bond" from Casino Royale, while Farley entered to Lana Del Rey's "Young and Beautiful," a tribute to her longtime friend and fellow Jersey Shore castmate Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi, who used the song during her own wedding in 2014.
The reception featured a romantic "Beauty and the Beast" theme with deep ruby colors, candlelight, floral arrangements, and rose-gold accents.
"The overall inspiration was a modern Beauty and the Beast fairy tale with a dark romance twist," Farley explained.
Rubies became the centerpiece of the celebration, appearing in Farley's ring, Carpinello's wedding band, and gifts for the couple's children, symbolizing "love, family, and the next chapter of our story."
Farley shares daughter Meilani, 11, and son Greyson, 10, with her ex-husband Roger Mathews. Both children played meaningful roles in the ceremony, with Carpinello presenting Meilani with a ruby birthstone ring and gifting Greyson a soccer-themed keepsake.
"This wedding is about our family, not just the two of us," the couple shared. "We wanted the day to celebrate not only our love story but also the family we've built together over the last seven years."
Farley and Carpinello publicly confirmed their relationship in 2019, shortly after Farley filed for divorce from Roger Mathews. Seven years later, the couple celebrated their next chapter with a wedding their guests never saw coming.
