Jenni “JWoww” Farley and Zack Carpinello said vows again on July 20 in Lake Como, Italy, giving their marriage a second celebration just weeks after their first wedding in New Jersey. This time, the couple kept things small, with only a few very close longtime friends there as they marked the day overlooking the water.
The timing matters because the Italy ceremony followed a June 24 surprise wedding in Old Bridge, New Jersey, and the contrast between the two events is the story. The first celebration was built around family and friends who could not travel overseas, while the second was designed to feel more intimate and more personal for the couple.
Farley said that was exactly the point. She described the Italy ceremony as an intimate, meaningful moment with Carpinello, and said it felt especially important because his family is from Italy. That connection gave the day a different weight than the New Jersey wedding, which was planned so loved ones could still be part of the celebration even if they could not make the trip.
The styling matched the mood. Farley wore a sleeveless gown with a pop of red by Castle Couture, while Carpinello wore a black suit by Carmen Bucco of Bucco Couture. Their first wedding had been a surprise, Beauty and the Beast-inspired event at Madison Modern Social in Old Bridge, where guests thought they were attending a special screening of Nanny Cam before learning they were actually at the couple’s wedding.
That private reveal had already made the New Jersey ceremony feel unusually theatrical, but the Italy celebration moved in the opposite direction: quieter, smaller and limited to a select circle. The couple’s first wedding drew 50 guests, yet the Lake Como event was intentionally pared back to a few close friends, underscoring how the pair wanted one public surprise and one far more personal moment.
Farley and Carpinello, who got engaged on top of the Empire State Building in New York City in 2021 on her 36th birthday, are now using their honeymoon to stretch the celebration across borders. What remains unclear is how many other stops the trip includes, but the Italy wedding is the clearest sign that the couple wanted their marriage to be marked twice, first with a surprise for family and then with a quieter vow exchange that belonged mostly to them.
