RHONJ’s Dolores Catania Is Engaged: Why Fiancé Paul Connell Proposed at an Apple Store
Frank Catania Jr. is officially off the market.
The eldest son of The Real Housewives of New Jersey‘s Dolores Catania and ex Frank Catania married Nicole Perricho on Aug. 1 in a lavish wedding set against Portugal’s stunning Douro Valley.
“Nicole’s family is from Portugal, and her roots here run deep,” Frank Jr.—nicknamed Frankie by his family—told People in an interview published Aug. 2. “We’ve been coming here every summer since we started dating, so it already felt like home to us. I couldn’t think of a more beautiful place to begin our marriage.”
Frankie, 27, and Nicole, 31, told the outlet they wanted their “relaxed, elegant and effortlessly romantic” nuptials to feel like an “authentic celebration in the heart of wine country,” which is why they settled on Douro Valley’s The Vintage House for their venue.
After exchanging vows and saying “I do” at a local church, the newlyweds celebrated with friends and family during a reception with a dinner featuring classic Portuguese dishes.
