Lauren Manzo Wedding: Mom Caroline & Aunt Dina Manzo Celebrate With Melissa Gorga, RHONJ Alums: Details! [Video]
Lauren Manzo tied the knot with fiancé Vito Scalia.
Famed as the daughter of Manzo’d With Children reality TV personalities Albert and Caroline Manzo, Lauren participated in a formal church ceremony, reported E! News.
Gorgeous in Vera Wang, Lauren celebrated during her reception at The Brownstone in Paterson. Mama Manzo shared all the info on Instagram.
“My beautiful girl is getting married tomorrow—the celebration begins,” posted Caroline, who has two other children.
Lauren, as a member of the magnificently large and extended Manzo family, had plenty of relatives and reality TV unofficial relatives there to wish her happiness for her future wedded bliss.

Aunt Dina Manzo, of course, was there, along with a crowd of The Real Housewives of New Jersey (RHONJ) from past and present attended. Among those RHONJ personalities were Joe and Melissa Gorga, Richie and Kathy Wakile, Kathy’s sister, Rosie Pierri, and Chris and Jacqueline Laurita.
For those wishing that they could have been there: You can vicariously experience the entire wedding during season two of Manzo’d With Children, which begins August 16.
Lauren has been engaged since November, 2013, and Manzo immediately flaunted that gigantic diamond ring on social media. Since then, she’s been getting ready for the wedding bells to chime, and having a blast as a bachelorette.

As for the traditional bridal shower? Lauren loved the tea party bridal shower that Mama Manzo held.
“My shower was better and more beautiful than I could ever have imagined,” shared Caroline’s daughter happily. “My mom really outdid herself and went above and beyond any of my expectations.”
Lauren had just one wish for her wedding day. The 27-year-old member of the Manzo family wanted everyone to be happy and have fun as she married Vito, she told Us Weekly.
After getting married at St. Cyril’s Church in New York City, the new Mrs. Scalia feels that her dreams have become true.
“[Today] is exactly what I always wanted,” said Lauren. “I just want people to have fun, that’s all I want. If I leave my wedding where I had a blast but no one else had fun I’d end up being sad!”

Others present at the wedding were Lauren’s father (Albert Manzo), her brothers (Albie and Chris), and her close pal, Greg Bennett.
The 27-year-old met Vito through Albie. Both Lauren’s brother and Vito went to New York’s Fordham University.
“I’m excited to see my daughter just start her life. I want her to just embrace this moment and I want to see her really, really shine,” revealed Manzo. “And that’s, for me, that’s worth more than anything on the planet, to see your kids truly, truly happy.”
As for the reality TV stars who were present, many are wondering whether Teresa Giudice will return to the Real Housewives Of New Jersey, as the Inquisitr reported.
Neither her lawyer nor the probation department has approved Giudice’s appearance on future RHONJ episodes, say sources.
“The probation department hasn’t signed off on it,” added an insider. “And the probation department has to approve Teresa’s employer and employment because of the terms of her release.”
