Jersey Shore Wedding Chaos

In 2019, Jersey Shore star Angelina Pivarnick married Chris Larangeira. The wedding was filmed for season 3 of MTV's Jersey Shore: Family Vacation. The nuptials were marred by drama when Pivarnick's bridesmaids and co-stars Nicole 'Snooki' Polizzi, Jenni 'JWoww' Farley, and Deena Cortese gave a speech that included a series of jokes at the bride's expense. The crowd, including Pivarnick's family and friends, booed the bridesmaids, and Pivarnick left the venue in tears, saying she felt disrespected. The incident caused a rift between the women, with Snooki announcing her departure from the show, and Deena declaring she would never film with [Angelina] again.

Angelina Pivarnick's bridesmaids gave a controversial speech

Angelina Pivarnick, star of MTV's *Jersey Shore*, tied the knot with Chris Larangeira in November 2019. The wedding was attended by Pivarnick's co-stars, including her bridesmaids Nicole 'Snooki' Polizzi, Jennifer 'JWoww' Farley, and Deena Nicole Cortese. The bridesmaids' speech at the reception, however, caused controversy and upset the bride, leading to a fallout between Pivarnick and her co-stars.

The Speech

During their speech, the bridesmaids referred to Pivarnick as "trash," "throw up," and "the fly to our shit." These comments were meant as inside jokes, but the guests, who were unfamiliar with the references, booed the bridesmaids. The bridesmaids also told the bride that she was the "dump to our island" and the "trash to our bags." The speech concluded with some kind words, but the damage was already done.

The Fallout

Pivarnick was understandably upset by the speech and left the wedding for about an hour before returning to celebrate with her guests. She later expressed her desire for a "total redo" of her wedding, stating that she and her husband needed it "for many reasons." She also shared that she no longer wanted anything to do with her co-stars-turned-bridesmaids.

Pivarnick's co-stars tried to defend their actions and clear the air. Deena Cortese, in a now-deleted Instagram post, explained that they included nice things in the speech and thought Pivarnick would laugh along, given her claim of not taking herself too seriously. Cortese also mentioned that they had included a 'roast part' in the speech, similar to what Larangeira's brother had done by bringing up his period st tattoo. She further emphasized that their intentions were not malicious and that they considered Pivarnick a sister.

Despite these attempts at reconciliation, the fallout continued, with Snooki quitting the show and Deena refusing to film with Pivarnick. Pivarnick also claimed that she was removed from the cast's group chat and that her individual attempts to reach out to her co-stars were unsuccessful.

Moving Forward

In the aftermath of the wedding speech debacle, Pivarnick shared her mixed emotions about the event. She expressed gratitude to her husband for being her rock during difficult times and thanked those who contributed to her special day, including her glam squad, photographer, wedding gown designer, and cake company.

Pivarnick also revealed that she and Larangeira were planning a more intimate wedding for their second time around and that she would not be including her co-stars as bridesmaids. She stated that she might not even have any bridesmaids at all and would instead opt for a maid of honor.

While the controversy surrounding the speech caused a significant rift in their relationship, Pivarnick and her co-stars have since appeared together on *Jersey Shore: Family Vacation*.

Angelina left the venue in tears

The wedding of Jersey Shore star Angelina Pivarnick to her longtime partner, Chris Larangeira, was not without its drama. Angelina left the venue in tears after her bridesmaids and co-stars Nicole 'Snooki' Polizzi, Jenni 'JWoww' Farley, and Deena Nicole Cortese gave a speech that included numerous jokes and jabs at the bride. The speech was so brutal that the crowd started booing the reality star bridesmaids and giving them the thumbs down. Angelina was so upset by the speech that she stormed out of the venue, saying that it was "so fked up" and that she was "so mad". She was seen weeping outside the venue with her husband, Chris.

The punchlines included calling Angelina 'the trash bag to our house' and 'the dump to our island'. The audience was clearly offended by the jokes, and the bridesmaids were booed and given the thumbs down. One guest commented that the speech was "fked up" and that the bridesmaids "don't fk with" Angelina.

After the wedding, Deena tried to smooth things over with Angelina by sharing a heartfelt Instagram post, explaining that they included nice things in the speech and thought that Angelina would laugh at the jokes. However, this gesture did not work, and Angelina is reportedly not on speaking terms with the rest of the cast.

Angelina was so enraged by what happened at the ceremony that she is now planning a second wedding and not inviting most of the Jersey Shore cast. However, she is reportedly still close to Pauly D and may invite him to the second ceremony.

The bridesmaids were booed by the crowd

The speech was so brutal that the crowd started to boo and the bride, Angelina, was extremely unhappy. She later said, "That was so fked up," and stormed out of the venue. She also told security to get rid of the bridesmaids. The bridesmaids themselves were visibly distraught over Angelina’s reaction and claimed that their speech was meant to be funny and that they would never intentionally ruin someone's wedding.

Angelina later took to Instagram to express her disappointment with how her wedding day unfolded and said that she and her husband needed a "total redo" of the day.

Angelina's co-stars tried to apologise

The drama at Angelina Pivarnick's wedding to Chris Larangeira didn't end on the night. In the aftermath, Angelina's co-stars and bridesmaids, Deena Nicole Cortese, Jenni "JWoww" Farley, and Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi, tried to apologise for their ill-received speech.

Snooki said, "It was supposed to be funny. No one got it…I would never intentionally try to ruin someone's wedding." Deena, who felt sick to her stomach, added, "I'm letting everybody know, right now, here, I will never film with her again."

In an attempt to smooth things over, Deena shared a heartfelt Instagram post, which has since been deleted. She wrote, "Listen I understand [you're] all upset about our speech, but we also included nice things in it as well…we thought since Angelina always says 'I never take myself seriously' she would truly laugh at the stuff we said. Clearly, we were wrong…we're friggen human. People make mistakes. We truly thought she was going to laugh and right after we went into how lucky we are to have her in our lives and she's the sister we needed in the house."

Snooki confirmed to Us Weekly that Angelina didn't respond to their apologies. "We apologized. She never responded back. So, you know, it's kinda just where we're moving on," she said.

JWoww also took to Twitter to express her remorse, writing, "We reached out multiple times and apologized over and over. I cried for days thinking I took away her beautiful day. I questioned who I was. She never once reached out privately until she was forced too. So just stop."

Nicole 'Snooki' Polizzi quit the show

Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi quit "Jersey Shore: Family Vacation" after a falling out with her castmate Angelina Pivarnick. Snooki, along with Deena Nicole Cortese and Jenni "JWoww" Farley, gave a drunken bridesmaids' speech at Angelina's wedding, which included numerous jokes and jabs at the bride. The speech caused a huge falling out among the women, resulting in Snooki quitting the show.

Snooki revealed her plans to leave the show during the season 3 finale, which aired on June 18, 2020. She cited the increased drama on the show and her desire to spend more time with her children as reasons for her departure.

"I'm quitting, I think," Snooki told Cortese. "I think this is it. This is not fun."

Snooki further elaborated on her decision on her "It's Happening With Snooki & Joey" podcast, stating that she wanted to portray herself as a "good person" on the show and that the constant drama was affecting her happiness.

"You know, when I leave my kids and I film the show, like, I want to have a good time," she said. "And I'm putting myself out there, and I just wanna come off as a good person. And lately, on the show, it's just been very drama."

Snooki also mentioned that her children were a major factor in her decision to leave the show. Her son, Lorenzo, would get anxious whenever she had to leave for work, and she didn't want to continue causing him distress.

Despite Snooki's initial decision to quit, fans were unsure if she would return for another season. However, she clarified that she would not be returning for season 4, stating that she couldn't handle the drama anymore.

"Just personally, for me, I can't deal with the freakin' drama anymore," Snooki told her fans. "I am out."
