Jersey Shore: Family Vacation star Jenni "JWoww" Farley has tied the knot with Zack Carpinello -- for the second time.

Just over a month after getting married in New Jersey, Jenni and Zack exchanged vows -- again -- during a romantic wedding ceremony in Italy on July 20, People reported.
"We wanted our New Jersey celebration at Madison's [on June 24] to be an opportunity for our loved ones who weren't able to travel to Italy to celebrate with us," the couple explained in an interview on Wednesday, August 19.
"We gathered with our close friends and family in New Jersey, while our celebration in Italy was a more intimate experience for us."
Several close friends apparently attended the couple's second wedding, which took place in the middle of Jenni and Zack's European honeymoon.

"For me, it was really about having an intimate, meaningful moment with Zack," Jenni, 41, shared.
"His family is from Italy, so celebrating there felt special to us. We wanted a celebration that felt uniquely ours, and we did exactly that."
Jenni for a strapless gown with a pop of red for the Italian ceremony, while Zack, 31, sported a black suit.
In late June, Jenni revealed that she had surprised her own guests with her first wedding.
Jenni said she designed movie-themed invitations and invited 50 guests to what they initially believed would be a red-carpet screening of her film, Nanny Cam, on June 24, according to People.

But Jenni and Zack fooled their loved ones by exchanging vows instead.
"We weren't interested in throwing the biggest wedding possible," Jenni explained to the magazine at the time.
"We wanted an unforgettable moment shared with our closest family and friends. The goal was creating memories, not creating a production."
Guests had gathered at Madison Modern Social in Old Bridge, NJ -- a contemporary restaurant that allowed the bride and groom to "focus on the moment" rather than "the pressure and expense" of a traditional wedding -- where their local mayor announced the wedding surprise and subsequently served as Jenni and Zack's officiant.
Jenni previously said that making the day feel "authentic" and "family centered" was of the most importance to the couple.

Jenni recalled how it was so exciting to see the expression on her guests' faces once they learned they were attending her wedding and not a movie premiere.
"We'll never forget [it]," Jenni noted at the time of her "modern Beauty and the Beast fairy tale with a dark romance twist."
Jenni shares two children with her ex-husband, Roger Mathews -- a daughter Meilani, 11, and son Greyson, 10.
Jenni and Zack -- who grew up just one town apart -- got engaged on top of the Empire State Building in New York City on Jenni's 36th birthday in 2021.
"Zack has always loved me exactly as I am. He's supportive, patient, and puts family first," Jenni gushed.

And Zack shared of his wife, "I love Jenni's bold confidence and ambition on life, but also humorous and softer side that she pretty much only shows me!"
Jersey Shore premiered its first season in 2006 and launched many spinoffs including Snooki & JWoww and the latest Jersey Shore: Family Vacation, which airs Thursday nights at 8PM ET/PT on MTV.
MTV announced in March that Jersey Shore: Family Vacation would be ending after its new season, but the Jersey Shore cast insisted they're not retiring.
Jenni promised on social media at the time, "MTV is changing, but we're not."
And fellow Jersey Shore star Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino wrote on Twitter on March 4, "Legends don't retire -- they take the story somewhere new. The network changed. The legacy didn't. Jersey Shore forever. The next wave is coming."
