The producers of Jersey Shore are at it again, this time they're focusing their lenses on a few engaged couples about to embark on the most important day of their lives. The show is called My Big Friggin' Wedding and it premieres tonight on VH1.
According to TV Squad, the five couples featured all hail from New Jersey and Long Island, and every one of them is planning an "outrageous, completely over-the-top" wedding. It's like Jersey Shore meets My Super Sweet 16 meets marriage. One bride-to-be's mom says, "Megin is marrying a douchebag and I'm paying for it"—so this show is going to be amazing, pretty much.
Oh and by the way, the "douchebag" is Johnny Meatballs, who is the self-proclaimed “Meatball King of New Jersey"... make that the unemployed “Meatball King of New Jersey." Check them all out in action, below:
