The dress featured intricate ruffles at the bottom, whilst a long veil cascaded elegantly down her back. The atmosphere was rich with love as she and May stood at the altar, surrounded by a picturesque setting of green leaves, white roses, and delicate chandeliers adorned with candles. The enchanting ceremony took place at the Park Chateau Estate & Gardens, creating a fairytale-like ambiance for the newlyweds.
The enchantment continued as the couple transitioned to their reception, where they danced their first dance to the melodious tune of the Goo Goo Dolls’ hit song, “Iris.” A ‘Jersey Shore’ reunion unfolded at the celebration, with familiar faces like Mike Sorrentino, Jenni “JWoww” Farley, Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi, Angelina Pivarnick, Pauly DelVecchio, Vinny Guadagnino, and Deena Cortese joining in the festivities. However, one prominent absentee was Giancola’s ex-boyfriend and former castmate, Ronnie Ortiz-Magro, who was notably missing from the event.
Giancola radiated in a second dazzling dress during the reception, featuring a halter neckline adorned with silver beads and a chic high slit. Accompanied by white heels and elegant teardrop earrings, she exuded glamour and charm throughout the evening. As the night progressed, Giancola and May were seen playfully spreading cocoa on their grand tiramisu wedding cake, followed by lively dancing with friends and family to the upbeat tunes spun by the DJ.
The couple’s special day was further enriched by the artistic touch of a live painting capturing their love story down the aisle. DelVecchio’s girlfriend, Nikki Hall, provided glimpses into the event on her Instagram Stories, showcasing the elaborate reception setup and bespoke cocktails dedicated to the newlyweds. Moments of joy and camaraderie were captured as Giancola, Farley, Polizzi, and Lauren Sorrentino enjoyed a playful photo booth session, immortalising their shared laughter and bond.

Giancola expressed her sheer happiness and gratitude for finding her forever partner in May, symbolised by a stunning engagement ring from Cozzi Jewelers. The couple’s love story continues to inspire and delight fans, with their enchanting wedding serving as a memorable chapter in their enduring romance.
