Jersey Shore’s JWoww Marries Zack Carpinello in Surprise Wedding

Jenni "JWoww" Farley Gushes Over Supportive BF

Jenni "JWoww" Farley traded fist-pumping for wedding bells.

The Jersey Shore alum married Zack Carpinello, 31, in an intimate ceremony June 24 that was magical because of more than the Old Hollywood decor. Indeed, the wedding held in Old Bridge, N.J., was a total surprise to the couple's 50 guests.

"We’ve spent months keeping this secret, creating invitations, planning the movie-themed details and building the surprise," JWoww explained to People of how they lured their loved ones by using her upcoming thriller. "Seeing our family and friends go from thinking they’re attending a special screening for Nanny Cam to realizing they’re actually at our wedding will be a moment we’ll never forget."

The event started with a ceremony officiated by local Mayor Debbie Walker, during which JWoww walked down the aisle to Lana Del Rey's "Young and Beautiful" in a tribute to her best friend Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi, who used the track as a first dance song at her own nuptials with Jionni LaValle. Then guests—including Snooki and fellow castmates Sammi "Sweetheart" Giancola and Deena Nicole Buckner—were welcomed into the reception styled to look like a "modern Beauty and the Beast fairy tale with a dark romance twist."

"We envisioned a small, meaningful celebration focused on the people who matter most to us," the 41-year-old emphasized. "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."

And thanks to their "authentic" approach, the newlyweds—who met when Zack was 24 years old—felt they were able to "create something personal and meaningful."

JWoww met her now-husband following her 2018 separation from ex Roger Mathews, with whom she shares her two kids, Meilani, 11, and Greyson, 10. And introducing Zack to her children was a seamless transition.

"They actually have known him for a while," JWoww told E! News on a 2019 red carpet. “[Meilani] knows Zack as my friend's brother, so she's always like, 'That's Erica's brother, that's Erica's brother,' and then she knows him from Disney, 'cause we all went as a group, so she always thinks of him as the one who...goes on the rides and is super fun."

At the time, Zack's bond with Meilani was already forged, confirmed by getting instant agreement from JWoww after asking, "She loves me, I feel, right?"
