Describing the bash as Chicago-themed, Joe shared that he wanted to go for "a 1920s kind of speakeasy thing." While Platinum Events provided the design for the wedding, the Victorian Experience orchestrated the entire affair.

On the big day, Joe donned an immaculate tuxedo. Meanwhile, his bride wore a flawless, sleeveless gown.

Given how happy that Joe and his wife Caitlyn appear together, it shouldn't come as a surprise if the two decide to conceive children in the future.

Joe's fascination with theater began as a high school student. After watching his then-girlfriend on the stage, he fell in love with acting. His aspirations stayed intact during his stints at Adelphi University and Northern Illinois University.

Weight Loss & Height

After earning his Masters, Joe relocated to Chicago. Immersing himself in the local theater realm, he created quite a buzz. The national fame, however, still eluded him. 

By 2010, Joe of six feet (1.83 m) height had fallen hard into depression. With no acting gig on sight, he was also battling weight loss. But then, fate intervened.

Coming to his rescue, a friend handed him a Groupon to a Zumba lesson. For his part, Joe indeed took the fitness program, and his effort eventually paid off. By attending the Zumba classes alone, he shredded an astounding 60 pounds off his body.

So thankful was he with the weight loss transformation that Joe even integrated Zumba into his character on Chicago Fire.
