And on Sunday she captioned a post paying tribute to the engagement, ‘Can’t find the words to depict how much joy we are all feeling since yesterday. 

‘My little Frankie, with a heart full of love and a lifetime of memories ahead of him, proposed to his amazing girlfriend Nicole and we couldn’t be happier!! Thank you to everyone that helped and made this day absolute perfection.’

Her ex-husband shared a similar post, writing, ‘Congratulations guys. You have no idea how happy we are for both of you and so proud to have such a beautiful, incredible young lady as our daughter-in-law. 

‘You both are very lucky to find one another and we are here to support you and help you reach all of your goals in life as our family. Love you guys so much.’

Frank’s sister Gabrielle Catania, 29, joined her family in marking the news online.

‘THATS MY SEEEEESTER !!!!! ❤️,’ she wrote via Instagram Story, along with multiple images from the proposal. 

Frank purchased the glinting engagement ring from John Anthony Jewelers in Edgewater, NJ.

The official John Anthony Instagram account joined Frank and Nicole’s loved ones in wishing them congratulations.

The jeweler posted a brief video clip of the sparkling diamond, fittingly soundtracking it to the 2010 Bruno Mars song Marry You.

John also handled a stunning diamond necklace and earrings set gifted to Dolores from her partner Paul Connell amid the exciting occasion.

Paul, whose divorce was just finalized after five years, used social media to give a shoutout to girlfriend Dolores’ son on Sunday.

‘Words cannot express the joy of watching the Catania family grow. It was truly heartwarming to witness the love between two amazing young people @frank.catania & @nicoleperricho in such a classic setting,’ he wrote.

He added, ‘As they embark on this new chapter and create their own life story, I want to extend my heartfelt congratulations to them and their parents for raising such wonderful human beings. Yesterday was a beautiful day filled with love and happiness, from first thing in the morning until night, the smiles and joy from everyone is a testament to the love shared by all.’
