JWoww, Zack Carpinello Hold 2nd Wedding in Lake Como After 50-Guest New Jersey Ceremony

Q: Why did the reality star need a secret second wedding in Italy after her elaborate surprise ceremony in New Jersey?

She did not appear to “need” a second wedding for legal reasons; the Italy ceremony was a personal choice meant to complement, not replace, the New Jersey wedding. Farley and Zack Carpinello were already married after their June 24 ceremony in Old Bridge, New Jersey. That event was a surprise Beauty and the Beast-themed celebration with about 50 guests, including Farley’s children and Jersey Shore castmates. It was designed as a fun reveal for family and friends and centered on the family they have built together. The July 20 Lake Como ceremony served a different purpose. Farley told PEOPLE it was intended to be a private, meaningful moment during their European honeymoon, with only a few close longtime friends present. The couple had emphasized from the start that they wanted intimacy and memories rather than a large production, and the Italy ceremony gave them a quieter setting after the more elaborate surprise event in New Jersey. Italy also carried personal significance because Carpinello’s family has ties to the country. In that sense, the second celebration was less about secrecy for its own sake and more about creating a smaller, emotionally significant experience in a place that mattered to them. So the answer is that the Italy wedding was essentially a symbolic, intimate second celebration: a private honeymoon ceremony with family meaning, following a public surprise wedding that focused on loved ones back home.

Q: What hidden details inspired JWoww to transform a fake movie premiere into a dark romance fairytale wedding?

JWoww’s surprise “fake premiere” wedding was driven by a highly personal dark-fairytale concept rooted in *Beauty and the Beast* and symbolized by ruby details throughout the event. Farley said she wanted the New Jersey ceremony to feel intimate, authentic and memorable rather than like a large production. To preserve that feeling, she and Zack Carpinello invited about 50 guests under the guise of a special screening for her film *Nanny Cam*, using movie-themed invitations and even a red carpet to sell the premiere setup before revealing the wedding. The visual inspiration came from what she described as a modern *Beauty and the Beast* fairy tale with a “dark romance twist.” That translated into candlelight, deep ruby reds, florals and rose-gold accents across the venue. The most meaningful hidden thread was ruby itself: Farley said the gemstone connected key parts of the day, from her ruby ring to Carpinello’s rose-gold wedding band with rubies, as well as the color palette and gifts included for her children. She said ruby represented “love, family, and the next chapter of our story.” Other details also carried personal meaning. Farley walked down the aisle to Lana Del Rey’s “Young and Beautiful,” the same song used by her close friend Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi at her own wedding, making it a tribute. The couple also emphasized that the wedding was about the family they had built together, not just the ceremony itself.

Lake Como hosted Jenni “JWoww” Farley, 41, and Zack Carpinello, 31, for a second wedding on July 20 during their European honeymoon, with only a few close longtime friends attending.
The couple said the Italy ceremony was meant to be a more intimate, meaningful celebration, especially because Carpinello’s family is from Italy and they wanted an experience that felt uniquely theirs.
Their first wedding came on June 24 in Old Bridge, New Jersey, where 50 guests arrived expecting a screening of Farley’s film “Nanny Cam” before learning they were at a surprise wedding.
Farley and Carpinello, who got engaged atop the Empire State Building in 2021, said in June they were looking ahead to more family adventures and memories with their children, family and friends.
