Jersey Shore’s Jenni “JWoww” Farley Marries Zack Carpinello in Surprise Fairytale Wedding

"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?"
