Jersey Shore star JWoww is officially married her longtime partner, professional wrestler Zack Carpinello.

After nearly five years of being engaged, the couple wed during an intimate ceremony on Wednesday (June 24) in Old Bridge, New Jersey.

As shared with People, 50 guests were taken to they believed would be a screening of JWoww’s upcoming movie, Nanny Cam, but those in attendance at Madison Modern Social were surprised with the wedding ceremony for the reality television star and Carpinello.

"We envisioned a small, meaningful celebration focused on the people who matter most to us," JWoww, real name Jenni Farley, told the publication. "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."

JWoww added that she wanted the wedding to feel “authentic” to her and her new husband.

“The surprise element, the family focus, and the intimate guest list all allowed us to create something personal and meaningful,” she continued.

After months of planning the movie-themed wedding, the couple walked down the aisle to Casino Royale classic “The Name's Bond.. James Bond.”

JWoww also honored her best friend, Jersey Shore co-star Nicole “Snooki” LaValle, by soundtracking the couple’s first dance to Lana Del Rey’s "Young and Beautiful." The song backed Snooki’s first dance with her husband Jionni LaValle.

JWoww was previously married to television host Roger Mathews from 2015 to 2019. The ex-spouses share two children: an 11-year-old daughter, Meilani, and 10-year-old son, Greyson.

The children reportedly received sentimental gifts—a ruby birthstone ring for Meilani and a soccer-themed present for Greyson—during the wedding ceremony.

"This wedding is about our family, not just the two of us," JWoww and Carpinello stated. "We wanted the day to celebrate not only our love story but also the family we’ve built together over the last seven years."

Fellow Jersey Shore cast mate, Sammi “Sweetheart” Giancola, got married last December to Ronnie Ortiz-Magro.
