Photos From Brittany Mattessich's Bachelorette Party
Brittany has already celebrated the major milestone events along the way in her wedding journey. After having her bridal shower in late April, Brittany later marked her upcoming nuptials again in early August, where she appeared to have the most fun Bachelorette party.
In now-disappeared Instagram Stories from the weekend, Brittany can be seen wearing a hot pink swimsuit and white hat, emblazoned with the word "Bride" on top of it. Brittany and her friends also toasted to the weekend ahead of them, captioning the photo with the words "Pink Party" on top of the post.
Brittany's friends showed off the bachelorette party decorations in their own Instagram Stories, which included giant cutouts of Frank, and lots of balloons. In a separate post to her feed, Brittany showed off just how much fun they all had at "The Brittyyy Bender."
When did Frank Catania and Brittany Mattessich get engaged?
Frank asked Brittany to marry him in late October 2023, in front of a wall of red roses. He put a lit up sign on top of the wall asking Brittany the big question: "Will You Marry Me?". She, of course, said yes.
"Thank you for being you [and] making me the happiest girl in the world," Brittany wrote in the caption of the Instagram post, showing off scenes from the proposal. "I wouldn't want to do this life with anyone else other [than] [Frank]. love you so much my fiancé."
During RHONJ Season 14, Episode 5, Frank took Dolores and their two kids — Frankie Catania and Gabby Catania — out to dinner where he showed off the "11-carat" engagement ring that he was planning on proposing to Brittany with. Frank practiced asking the big question with Dolores in the middle of a restaurant, much to the surprise of their fellow diners.
"I'm showing her what I'll do with my girlfriend," Frank told the restaurant patrons in the episode. "We've already been there, done that."
Previously, during RHONJ Season 14, Episode 3, Dolores gave Frank her approval to marry his longtime girlfriend. "Frank is more ready to be a husband now more than he was 30 years ago," she said, during a confessional. "He has lived 10 lives, frankly."
