Mike Sorrentino’s birthday was celebrated multiple times on ‘Jersey Shore’ 

The Jersey Shore cast celebrated Sorrentino’s birthday throughout the original series on multiple occasions. Since his and Pauly DelVecchio’s birthdays are so close (Sorrentino was born on July 4; DelVecchio’s birthday is July 5), their celebrations were often part of filming the first six seasons of Jersey Shore

‘The Situation’s proposal and ‘Ranchelor’ party 

Sorrentino proposed to Lauren in a 2018 episode of Jersey Shore: Family Vacation. The celebrations continued after she said “yes” with a backyard party featuring DJ Pauly D.  

In another episode of the reality series, the roommates threw a Bachelor party for Sorrentino on a dude ranch. They even surprised him with a lap dance from Lauren.

Yet another celebration on Jersey Shore: Family Vacation was the Sorrentino’s wedding in November 2018. For weeks, Sorrentino and his Jersey Shore castmates practiced a dance to Rob Base’s “It Takes Two.”

At the wedding, DelVecchio had a surprise for the newlyweds. Base showed up to perform the song live for Sorrentino, DelVecchio, Vinny Guadagnino, and Ronnie Ortiz-Magro to dance along to.

Sorrentino went to prison in January 2019 and was released in September the same year. To celebrate, his roommates marked his release with a party. The roommates weren’t sure what kind of food “The Situation” was going to be craving, so they had “Big Daddy Sitch” approved foods and “The Situation” approved healthier options. 

‘The Shorefather’ premiere party

In another episode of JSFV, Guadagnino made a parody movie of The Godfather to celebrate Sorrentino’s growth. “It’s beautiful — it’s the best gift I could get,” Sorrentino told his roommates as they watched the movie premiere with popcorn and candy.
