Jersey Shore star Mike Sorrentino, also known as "The Situation," has been planning his
wedding to fiancée Lauren Pesce - and it will reportedly take place weeks after he
receives his sentence in court.
According to Radar Online, Sorrentino will be sentenced for fraud charges in a courtroom
in Newark, New Jersey on October 2nd, 2018.
And, just a few weeks afterwards, he'll tie the knot with Pesce, getting married in early
November.
Fortunately for the couple, they won't have to exchange vows behind bars, as Sorrentino
will likely have some time before he's expected to surrender himself to prison.
Sorrentino's lawyer explained to Radar Online,
"Ordinarily in federal court, a defendant is given a period of time (30 to 60 days)
to surrender voluntarily to begin a prison sentence after the sentence is imposed."
And it seems like Sorrentino and Pesce are banking on that, as a source told the celebrity
gossip rag that the two had, quote, "figured out the logistics ahead of time" for their
wedding.
Sorrentino's upcoming sentencing comes after he was accused of filing false tax returns
to the IRS.
In April 2017, he was also charged with tax evasion and, quote, "structuring funds to
evade currency-transaction reports."
Sorrentino and his brother, Marc, reportedly failed to pay taxes on an income of $8.9 million
between the years of 2010 and 2012.
"That definitely caused some friction with my brothers and my family."
In January 2018, Sorrentino pleaded guilty to tax evasion.
He faces a maximum of five years behind bars for the crime.
Despite all the drama surrounding Sorrentino's legal troubles,or perhaps because of it, Sorrentino
proposed to his longtime girlfriend in April 2018 while filming Jersey Shore Family Vacation.
He told Us Weekly at the time,
"I have always dreamed of proposing on Jersey Shore, the show that introduced me to the
world.
[...] We are so proud and excited to share this chapter of our story with the world."
Sorrentino and Pesce had first started dating when they were in college, but they broke
up before he made his reality TV debut on MTV's Jersey Shore.
Luckily, the two later found their way back to one another in 2012.
Sorrentino, who celebrated 28 months of sobriety in May 2018 after battling an addiction to
prescription painkillers, later opened up about wedding plans in August 2018.
He told Us Weekly that he wanted to give his fiancée the wedding of her dreams, adding,
"I don't really know too much about it.
But I know happy wife is a happy life, so whatever she wants, we're gonna try to get
her."
It was previously reported that Sorrentino and Pesce were going to try to marry before
his sentencing, with sources telling media outlets that the couple were hoping to wed
in either late September or early October.
But the two must have decided to slow down and give themselves a little more time before
Sorrentino likely heads off to prison.
Plus, with the good chance that their wedding will appear on TV, there are surely a lot
of details the couple will need to check off on.
And no matter how long Sorrentino may spend behind bars, Pesce will be there for him,
as she likely has been throughout all of his legal troubles.
A source told Radar Online in July 2018,
"They are both hoping for leniency.
But it does not matter to Lauren how long he has to go to prison.
She will stand by him no matter what.
She will be visiting him in prison as often as she is allowed."
Sounds like Sorrentino and Pesce have one strong relationship, which is perfect since
she'll soon have to stick by his side for better or for worse!
"I just have unbelievable mass appeal."
