AceShowbiz - Congratulation! Frankie Catania Jr., the son of "The Real Housewives of New Jersey" star Dolores Catania, is engaged to girlfriend Nicole Perricho. The proposal took place on February 22 at the illustrious St. Patrick's Cathedral in New York City, marking a monumental day for the couple and their families.
Nicole Perricho shared the joyous news on Instagram, capturing the moment Frankie, 26, got down on one knee. The photos from the proposal were simply heartwarming, showing Frankie in a black suit and Nicole in a white sweater dress adorned with feather accents.
"2.22.25 ♥ï¸," Perricho captioned the photos, indicating the date of their engagement. Dolores, 54, and Frank Sr., who have remained close friends since their 1998 divorce, along with their daughter Gabby Catania, were all present for the momentous occasion.
After the proposal, the couple received a blessing from a priest and celebrated with a beautiful party at Rocco Steakhouse, attended by close friends and family, including Dolores' partner Paulie Connell and Frank Sr.'s fiancée Brittany Mattessich.
Dolores shared her congratulations on Instagram, writing "Sooooo beautiful !!! â¤ï¸â¤ï¸." Gabby, excited to gain a sister-in-law, shared the sentiment with a lively "THATS MY SEEEEESTER!!!!" on her Instagram Stories.
The couple's upcoming nuptials won't be the only one within the family - Frank Sr. and Brittany are set to tie the knot on March 29. Initially planned for November 2024, their wedding was postponed due to hurricane damage at their Florida venue.
"We want our guests to have a good time and it just so happens that Brittany and Frank are getting married while they are there," Frank Sr. told People magazine.
As the blended family put a united front during the engagement, Connell gushed about the day's significance, stating it was "filled with love and happiness" and celebrated "the love between two amazing young people."
The couple have kept much of their relationship private. However, they went public with their relationship when Nicole posted a picture from a holiday party in December 2023. Dolores has fondly spoken about Nicole, often referring to her as a lovely addition to their family.
As both Frankie Jr. and Frank Sr. gear up for their respective weddings, it is clear that love is very much in the air for the Catania family. With two weddings on the horizon, there's plenty for the family to look forward to and celebrate.
