‘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.’

‘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.’
