- Jenni "JWoww" Farley married her partner of seven years, wrestler Zack Carpinello, on Wednesday.

- Farley "envisioned a small, meaningful celebration focused on the people who matter most to us."

- The wedding theme was based on *Beauty and the Beast*.

It's a *Jersey Shore** *wedding!

Jenni Farley, better known as JWoww to diehards of the classic MTV reality show, got married on Wednesday to professional wrestler Zack Carpinello, her partner of seven years.

"We envisioned a small, meaningful celebration focused on the people who matter most to us," Farley told PEOPLE, which exclusively debuted the lux photos of the Jersey-set ceremony. "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."

Farley and Carpinello were married in front of 50 guests at Madison Modern Social restaurant in Old Bridge, N.J. Mayor Debbie Walker welcomed the happy couple to town and played double duty by officiating the ceremony.

The couple "spent months" keeping the true nature of the ceremony secret from their closest friends and family members — "creating invitations, planning the movie-themed details, and building the surprise," they told PEOPLE. Every guest descended on Old Bridge thinking they were in for a special screening of Farley's new film, *Nanny Cam*, only to realize "they’re actually at our wedding," which the couple looked forward to as a "moment we'll never forget."

That wasn't the only unconventional twist Farley and Carpinello planned for the ceremony.

"The overall inspiration was a modern *Beauty and the Beast* fairy tale with a dark romance twist," Farley explained. As for music, Carpinello chose to walk out to David Arnold's *Casino Royale *composition "The Name's Bond..James Bond," while Farley paid "tribute to my best friend," *Jersey Shore *star Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi's own wedding, by walking out to her bestie's first dance song, Lana Del Rey's "Young and Beautiful."

Farley and Carpinello grew up one town apart in New Jersey. Now together for seven years, Farley looked back on the "incredibly thoughtful" way Carpinello proposed in 2021, atop the Empire State Building on her 36th birthday.

"Birthdays had become difficult for me because of the loss of family members over the years, and he wanted to create a happy memory that I could look forward to every year," she revealed.

The reality star shares Meilani, 11, and Greyson, 10, with ex Roger Matthews, to whom she was married from 2015 to 2019.
