Pro Wrestler Zack Clayton Secretly Weds Jersey Shore Star Jenni ‘JWoww’ Farley in Surprise Ceremony

Zack Clayton, the professional wrestler also known as Zack Carpinello, has married Jenni “JWoww” Farley in a ceremony that doubled as one of the more creative wedding surprises in recent memory.

Guests who attended the event had no idea they were walking into a wedding. Instead, they believed they were showing up to a special screening of JWoww’s film “Nanny Cam.” The reveal that the evening was actually a wedding ceremony caught attendees completely off guard. JWoww spoke about the moment to PEOPLE, describing the reaction of family and friends as they went from expecting a movie screening to realizing they were witnessing the couple tie the knot.

Clayton has been a recognizable name on the independent wrestling circuit and has appeared for various promotions over the years. His relationship with Farley — one of the original cast members of MTV’s long-running reality series Jersey Shore — had been public for some time, making the marriage a high-profile moment that crosses both the wrestling and entertainment worlds.

The surprise wedding format has grown in popularity in recent years, and this one leaned into Farley’s entertainment career as the perfect cover story. Using a film screening as the decoy was a fitting touch given her work in front of the camera.

Congratulations to the newly married couple — it’s safe to say their guests will remember the night they showed up for a movie and left having witnessed a wedding.
