MONTVILLE, NEW JERSEY: In the latest episode of 'Real Housewives of New Jersey' Season 14, Joe Gorga officiated the wedding of his wife Melissa Gorga's cousin, Nicholas 'Nick' Marco, a successful entrepreneur and coach.
Nicholas, also known as Nick, is the mastermind behind various business ventures. He serves as the CEO of his own company and hosts a popular podcast. Before the wedding, Nick's fiancé Mike Masco said to Joe, "Can I tell you something? Like you breathe love. You are able to light up a room with love."
Shortly after, Nick chimed in, "I love this family, I love you guys so, so much," to which Joe responded: "Aw, I love you."
In a confessional, Melissa shared how Mike and Nick's relationship serves as a shining example of genuine love, given the challenges they both faced when coming out. Nick, in particular, felt anxious about revealing his truth to his family.
Mike's family members did not attend the wedding due to their inability to accept his sexual orientation and disapproval of his same-sex relationship. Talking of Nick and Mike, Melissa further added, "So it's just a great example for my children to see that love is love."
During the ceremony for Nick and Mike's wedding, Joe injected some humor into the proceedings by sharing a few light-hearted jokes, which had everyone in attendance laughing and smiling.
"When I met you. I said, look at this good-looking guy. And I said 'How's the ladies? You must be knocking em dead," Joe said. This lighthearted comment caused the entire crowd to erupt in laughter.
