    “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.

    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.

    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.”

    Social media users showered the newlywed bride with love and support following her special day

    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.

    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.

    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.
