Jennifer Turpin, the eldest of the 13 siblings from the infamous Turpin family, has officially said “I do!”

On October 27, 2024, Jennifer tied the knot with her husband, Aron, in a stunningly unique Gothic wedding ceremony at the Miller Gardens in Rancho Cucamonga, California.

Her walk down the aisle was perfectly timed just before Halloween, giving her wedding guests an enchanting mix of love and spookiness.

The newlywed bride later posted highlights of her big day on Instagram.

“10/27/2024-Wedding Day-I am so blessed to find the most amazing guy. He is everything I’ve wanted plus more,” she wrote in the caption of one of her wedding posts.

From skeleton-themed glassware and a coffin-shaped ring box to napkins adorned with “Till Death Do Us Part,” the event was bursting with eerie elegance.

Black and red floral arrangements set the mood, while glow sticks illuminated quirky details like a skeleton in the drink cooler and a cauldron brimming with candy.

Jennifer made a grand entrance as she walked through a dramatic fog with a bouquet of black-and-white flowers.

She wore a striking black-laced white gown with a sweetheart neckline, paired with intricate lace-up boots, which were accessorized with pearl charms.

Her smokey eye makeup, black lipstick, and ombre nails added to the bold look, topped off with her black-and-white floral crown. Aron matched the Gothic vibe in a black tuxedo.

Jennifer’s radiant new beginning was a turn from her dark childhood, having grown up in a home dubbed the “House of Horrors.”

She and her 12 sisters and brothers lived in horrific conditions and suffered abuse at the hands of their now-imprisoned parents, David and Louise Turpin.

“I am so blessed to find the most amazing guy. He is everything I’ve wanted plus more,” Jennifer captioned one of her posts

“The only word I know to call it is ‘hell,'” Jennifer said about her traumatic childhood in a 2021 interview with ABC News.

The abuse came to light after her then-17-year-old sister, Jordan Turpin, climbed out a window in 2018 and called 911, leading to the rescue of her malnourished siblings, some of whom were kept chained to their beds.

“I want the last name Turpin to be remembered as a name of strength,” Jennifer said during the interview. “They are not weak, they’re not broken. They’ve got this.”

Regardless of who she is, her dress is beautiful. The ONLY thing I would have changed would have been to go with all red roses for her bouquet.

Love that dress so much, it's perfect on her. Food for thought, healthcare workers have a pretty macabre sense of humour, it's a coping mechanism. It's no surprise at all she would embrace Gothic darkness, it puts horror on a shelf and makes it less real.

She’s finally found happiness and she is absolutely radiant in her wedding dress. I say we should just let them celebrate their happiness any way they want. My one and only hope is that life is good to them and they’re deliriously happy together forever.
