Back in 2001, Sal, along with his high school buddies Brian Quinn, James Murray and Joe Gatto, launched the hidden camera reality series, Impractical Jokers with their comedy troupe, The Tenderloins.

When it comes to practical jokes and outrageous pranks, the mischievous minds behind Impractical Jokers, James Murray and Sal Vulcano, have taken their antics to another level.

Jenna Vulcano and James Murray wedding prank

As the wedding ceremony commenced in the Season 3 finale titled: Brother-in-Loss, Sal’s confusion grew. Initially, he attempted to ruin the proceedings by laughing out loud, thinking it was all part of an elaborate prank. But when he was presented with the real marriage papers, his scepticism wavered, and he fell into the trap.

To Sal’s astonishment, his sister walked down the aisle, adorned in a beautiful white wedding dress and veil, towards her groom, James Murray. The guests, including both sets of parents, eagerly awaited the couple’s union. A humorous twist occurred during the vows when the priest addressed Vulcano by her name while Murray referred to her as “Sal’s sister.” 

James said: “I take you for who you are, and who you are … is Sal’s sister.” She answered: ‘I, Sal’s sister, take you, Murr, to be my husband…”. The absurdity of the situation caused everyone to burst into laughter, adding to the mirthful chaos.

Sal, left dumbfounded, could hardly believe his eyes as he witnessed the surreal ceremony unfolding before him. He muttered strong words under his breath, his gaze fixed on Murray, who revelled in the triumph of his prank.

However, as with any practical joke, the marriage was annulled on the very same night, and James announced the dissolution on his Twitter page. The fleeting union was nothing more than a playful retaliation for a previous skydiving punishment that Murray had endured.

Although the marriage may have been short-lived, the memory of that hilarious prank lives on. It was a testament to the boundless creativity and commitment that James Murray and Jenny Vulcano bring to their craft.
