Celebrity couple Jenni “JWoww” Farley and her fiancé Zack Carpinello have celebrated their love twice this summer, first with a surprise wedding in New Jersey and then with a romantic ceremony on the picturesque shores of Lake Como, Italy.
The couple initially exchanged vows on June 24 during a delightful ceremony in Old Bridge, New Jersey. This wedding took place at Madison Modern Social and was inspired by Disney’s *Beauty and the Beast*. The occasion, which they had kept under wraps, was attended by close family and friends, all under the impression they were there for a special screening of Farley’s film *Nanny Cam*.
Farley, known for her role in *Jersey Shore*, and Carpinello, a professional wrestler, later took their celebrations abroad. On July 20, the couple said “I do” once again in an intimate ceremony overlooking the stunning landscapes of Lake Como, as part of their European honeymoon.
In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE, the lovebirds expressed the meaning behind their dual celebrations. “We wanted our New Jersey celebration at Madison’s to be an opportunity for our loved ones who weren’t able to travel to Italy to celebrate with us,” they explained. According to Farley, the Italian ceremony felt particularly special as Carpinello’s family hails from the region, creating a deep personal connection to the setting.
The Italian wedding was a more private affair, attended by only their closest friends, allowing the couple to share a meaningful moment together. “For me, it was really about having an intimate, meaningful moment with Zack,” she added, emphasising the significance of their marriage ceremony in such a romantic locale.
Jenni’s ensemble for the Italian wedding was a stunning sleeveless gown adorned with a touch of red from Castle Couture, the same designer who crafted her first floral wedding dress. Carpinello, meanwhile, chose to wear a classic black suit by Carmen Bucco of Bucco Couture, complementing his attire with a vibrant red tie and matching pocket square.
The New Jersey wedding had approximately 50 attendees, including Farley and her former husband Roger Mathews’ children, Meilani and Greyson. Several notable figures from the *Jersey Shore* cast were also present, including Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi, Sammi “Sweetheart” Giancola, Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino, and Deena Cortese Buckner, all of whom joined in the surprise festivities.
Reflecting on the joyful occasion, the couple stated, “We wanted the day to feel personal, memorable, and full of joy, and there’s something really special about sharing such a meaningful surprise with the people we love most.” Their decision to create a televised element through the surprise screening added a unique twist to their wedding story.
Farley and Carpinello’s romance has blossomed over the years, despite the fact that they grew up just one town apart. They became engaged in 2021, with a proposal atop the Empire State Building in New York City on Farley’s 36th birthday. Their journey has been marked by a commitment to building a future together, which they look forward to continuing with family adventures and shared experiences.
As they settle into married life, the couple expressed their enthusiasm for creating lasting memories with their children, extended family, and friends. Their joyous celebrations, both in New Jersey and Italy, highlight a modern love story rooted in friendship and shared experiences.
