The bride-to-be shared the news (and the details of the proposal) on her Instagram feed on October 29.
"We’re Engaged!!!!" she wrote in the caption of her post. "I'm so excited to start this next chapter with you along with all [of] the other good things we have going on…"
Brittany added, "Thank you for being you [and] making me the happiest girl in the world. I wouldn’t want to do this life with anyone else other [than] [Frank]. love you so much my fiancé."
Per Brittany's post, Frank popped the question in front of a wall of red roses which featured a sign displaying the message "Will you marry me?"
Candles and red rose petals were placed on both sides of the flower wall as well.
Brittany also offered her followers a glimpse at her stunning princess-cut engagement ring. The center stone sits on a thick diamond band.
The engagement comes after Dolores' ex previously showed his commitment to his relationship with Brittany earlier in 2023. During Part 3 of the RHONJ Season 13 reunion, Frank revealed that he had just closed on a house with Brittany, and that the two were moving in together.
