Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino and Lauren Pesce look so in love as they pose for photos on their wedding day.

Mike and Lauren’s love story began at college, where they met in 2004 and dated for nearly four years. They were true college sweethearts, but paused their relationship when Mike started filming “Jersey Shore” in 2009. The MTV show wrapped in 2012, and Mike and Lauren reunited afterwards. Lauren has helped Mike stay sober, as The Situation revealed that she urged him to not take painkillers after he cracked his ribs in 2015. Mike is even in Narcotics Anonymous, and reached his two-year sober mark in May of 2018.

The Situation finally proposed to his longtime girlfriend in April of 2018, and the special moment was aired on the June 21 episode of the “Jersey Shore” revival, “Jersey Shore Family Vacation.” They originally eyed Italy for their wedding location, but rearranged plans when Mike was sentenced to serve eight months in prison for tax evasion in Oct. 2018. They decided to stick to their roots and tie the knot in The Westin in Morristown, NJ on Nov. 1, 2018.
