Wedding Party
Jared Stevens
Man of Honor
Jared and Nicole met in 2019, when she was interviewing for a new position at Universal Orlando Resort, and Jared got asked to interview her for the position (because the person who was originally supposed to interview her forgot about the interview). At that point, Jared became her Supervisor, but more importantly, her best friend. Throughout the years, Jared and Nicole have shared many Sunday brunches, random adventures, Schitt's Creek episodes, drinks at Coopers Hawk, and an abundance of laughs- being her rock during the best times and most trying times of her life. Jared has always been the first person to be by Nicole's side and has shown his love and support for her more times than she can count (or thank him for). Jared has taught Nicole what it means to truly have a best friend, where through thick and thin, they always gravitate to each other and share the most random thoughts, ideas, and advice throughout the day. Through all of life's changes, Jared has been the constant in Nicole's life, making him the obvious choice to be her Man of Honor.
Jon Cronin
Bridesman
Nicole and Jon met in 2019, when they went on an adventure to Busch Gardens Tampa with Jared, and he stated "Jared doesn't like that many people, so if he invited you to go to Busch Gardens with us, you must be cool." Nicole and Jon share a passion for Theme Parks, live music, brunch, and people watching, making them instant friends. Jon has been a support system for not only Nicole, but her family as well, always being present in their lives and willing to jump in and assist in any way he can. Jon always knows how to make Nicole laugh and is her hype man through all of her good (and bad) ideas. Jon is the person that Nicole goes to with all of her life questions, and when Nicole brings these up to Joseph, his first response typically is "well have you asked Jon about it yet?" Jon is one of Nicole's closest friends, and her favorite person to go to for advice, or a good laugh, so she couldn't imagine not having him by her side on this special day.
Anthony Cumbo
Bridesman
Anthony is Nicole's older brother and one of the most influential people in her life. Anthony will also be walking Nicole down the aisle on wedding day, in the place of their late father, Charles Cumbo. Anthony and Nicole have always been extremely close- whether it was making up games to play together, visiting Theme Parks, hanging out by the pool, or spending hours inside of The World of Disney store (Anthony's choice... not Nicole's). Anthony has been Nicole's support system from Day 1 and has always supported her goals and dreams, no matter how crazy they may have been. Anthony is who Nicole goes to for a good laugh and she knows that talking to Anthony will always make her day better. Anthony is the life of the party, and has brought Nicole out of her shell throughout her life, teaching her to just be herself. Most of the time, Anthony knows Nicole better than she knows herself, making him an invaluable part of our wedding day.
Steve Lisa
Bridesman
Nicole and Steve first met in 2021, when she became a Supervisor at Universal Orlando and Steve was a Manager at a neighboring attraction. Due to Nicole's position, she had to partner with a Manager to complete tasks, and Steve quickly became her go to for all work related, and not work related, advice. Later on in Nicole's career, Steve became her direct manager, and one of the closest people to her. Steve has become someone that Nicole goes to for all of life's successes and challenges, being an amazing support system through it all. Nicole and Steve agree on most things, but one thing they will never agree on if wearing blue and black together match (you can let us know which side you agree with on wedding day). Steve is one of the most caring, thoughtful, and genuine people Nicole has ever met, and she wouldn't be the person she is today without having him in her corner. As Nicole has always said, "Believe in Steve and we will achieve," and with Steve by her side, she will always be achieving in life.
Conrad Testagrose
Best Man
Conrad is Joseph's childhood best friend since Kindergarten, but the real friendship started in middle school, when they were put in the same math class and Joseph saw Conrad drawing sharks in his notebook. Conrad wound up showing Joseph how to draw sharks and squids- this lead to riding their bikes after school around the neighborhood, going to the pool every weekend and causing mayhem, and having lots of fishing adventures (don't ask about what happened to the duck). Conrad wound up getting Joseph his first job at McDonalds, which he got Joseph to apply for to leave the family restaurant (Sorry Mom and Dad, it was for the best). While it taught Joseph his work ethic that he has today, it also has a lot of funny stories with Conrad from eating frozen cookies in the freezer, building armor out of boxes in the back of the restaurant, to many more wild stories that I don't have time to write about here. Conrad was able to bring the fun and goofy side out of Joseph and brought the best childhood memories with countless stories to look back on. No matter what happens in life or what part of life they are facing in all moments, Conrad will always be Joseph's best friend
Jason Rodriguez
Groomsman
Joseph first met Jason toward the end of eighth grade during lunch, when Joseph would regularly wander over to Jason’s table for peak middle school banter. The friendship truly took off freshman year of high school when they played football together and realized they were going to be stuck with each other for practices, games, and team bonding. From that point on, Jason became a constant. From football practices to Jason taking Joseph to Halloween Horror Nights for the first time, late nights at hookah bars, and countless random adventures, Jason has always been there. Jason is the kind of friend who shows up, checks in, and stays solid no matter what stage of life you are in. He is incredibly supportive, reliable, and easy to talk to, which makes him one of those rare friends you can truly count on. Joseph could not ask for a better or more dependable friend to stand beside him.
CJ Milordis
Groomsman
CJ and Joseph go all the way back to first grade in Ms. Sickles’ class, but their real friendship didn’t kick off until senior year of high school. CJ has always been the life of the party and the guy who says “why not” when everyone else hesitates. He taught Joseph how to loosen up, have fun, and say yes to experiences instead of overthinking them. When they both moved to Orlando for UCF, they lived together and continued creating memories long after college. If Joseph wanted to go downtown, find a party, or end up somewhere he probably shouldn’t have been, CJ was always the first one ready to go. CJ has brought Joseph some of the most daring adventures of his life. (Many of which cannot be discussed here for legal reasons… they did survive a murderous clown in the neighborhood though, and if you know, you know.) Beyond the chaos and fun, CJ has always looked out for Joseph. Whether it was giving life advice, fixing a car problem, rescuing a computer, or just being there when things got tough, CJ has always shown up. Joseph is incredibly grateful for his loyalty, humor, and friendship, and wouldn’t have wanted anyone else by his side.
Hige Roman
Groomsman
Hige and Joseph first met each other working together and were both ready to fight on sight when it came how to draw a fence in Adobe Illustrator at work. When they both wound up moving into the marketing department, they put their rivalry to the side and actually became really good friends. They bicker constantly, question each other’s decisions, and argue like siblings, but that back and forth has pushed both of them to grow in ways they never expected. Hige has had a massive influence on Joseph, especially at work, helping him grow professionally, think differently, and better understand himself. Somewhere along the way, Hige helped Joseph realize he is an ISFJ, which makes a lot of sense once you know him. (If you ever want to go down a personality type rabbit hole, Hige will happily lead the discussion.) More than anything, Hige has helped Joseph become more confident, grounded, and self aware. Joseph is incredibly grateful for his honesty, support, and friendship, and would not be the person he is today without him.
