Best Friends: Not every marriage is between best friends, but not every couple is like the Quartuccis

The past five years have been the best five years of Frank Quartucci’s life, and it is not even close.

All the Phillies and Eagles games, the alma mater basketball games, camping trips, trips to new restaurants, family time and everything in between have led to this exact day. Today is the day Frank and Marielle say, “I do,” and become the Quartuccis.

It is on this day where Frank and Marielle get to reflect back on all the memories they have made together so far, and they get to do so in the presence of many, many loved ones. They have gone through trials and tribulations along the way, but those have all made them the strong couple they are today.

In fact, on this day of reflection and this day of happiness and holy matrimony, Frank is looking all the way back to the very beginning. From the first moments in their relationship, Frank could tell that this woman was a special woman, and he did not want to let her go.

“The way we connected on that date in Philadelphia, I knew she was the one for me,” Frank said. “We were about to play an arcade game at Dave and Busters, and I made her laugh hard for the first time, and at that moment she took my heart. I knew I wanted to marry this woman.”

On their first date, they were both nervous, but pretty soon after the date started, Frank and Marielle clicked. In fact, they clicked so much that, by the second date, Frank had Marielle belly laughing, and seeing this, along with her competitiveness, made him realize he scored the most beautifully amazing woman in the world.

There was not one specific thing that stood out above the rest either. There were so many positive attributes and traits that fed into Marielle’s character that made Frank as happy as a clam.

“I admire her work ethic, her mindfulness and her compassion toward others,” Frank said. “I love her competitiveness and her athleticism. I admire her selflessness too. She has a smile and laugh that melts my heart. She puts everyone before herself. She is the absolute funniest person I know.”

From the way she treats others to the way she never settles for second place, there is so much to be said about Marielle.

And of course, there is a lot to be said about her relationship with Frank. As they tie the knot today, it is a great reminder to look at how great of a couple they are. Frank and Marielle certainly treat each other right, and they are made for one another.

“She means everything to me,” Frank said. “She’s my best friend. She’s my soulmate. She pushes me. I wouldn’t be where I am today in my career without her. Her work ethic and how she holds herself every day is amazing. Marielle has made me a better person. And she’s a family woman.”

When it comes to Marielle, there is nothing that comes between her and her family. She loves her parents and brother very much, and Frank knows she will one day make a tremendous mother.

In fact, having kids is one of the many reasons why Frank is so excited to marry the love of his life. He said that, God willing, they are going to start a family, and he knows she was born to be a mom.

But, for now, they are going to focus on continuing to build their relationship with one another, and to enjoy married life with one another.

“We are looking forward to taking the next steps in the chapter of our lives,” Frank said. “We are excited to start a family. I’m excited to grow old with my best friend. We have lots of things in store moving forward. We are going to buy a house. We are going to raise our children and focus on being sports parents. I’m really excited to do that with my best friend.”

Not only that, but Frank is looking forward to continuing to share the same qualities, morals, values and virtues with Marielle. They were both brought up with similar backgrounds, and it is one of the many reasons why they are made for each other.

They are also made for each other because they have very opposing characteristics that attract well. Frank said he has learned from Marielle to slow down in life and be in the moment, and to also be open, honest and true to yourself. They communicate well with each other too, and there is so much they will continue to learn from each other and learn together.

“Marielle pushes me to the best version of myself,” Frank said. “Through her hard work, attention to detail, her love toward me, and how caring she is to others, it pushes me to be the best version of myself.”

Not only is Frank at his best when he is around Marielle, but so are so many other people. Bringing out the best qualities in other people is one of the many virtues Frank loves about his soulmate, along with the way she would do anything for family, just like himself.

Marielle would also do anything for friends or anyone else in need as well, and for this and many other reasons, she is loved and appreciated by so many people.

“She always puts everyone else before her,” Frank said. “Marielle is so loving. She is so family oriented. She will do anything for anyone at any time. She will give you the shirt off her back. She’s very mindful. She’s very honest. She will give you her opinion. She is there for others. She has an infectious laugh. She’s a goofball. Everyone who knows her gets along with her.”

And anyone who knows this couple knows they are meant to be. They treat each other right, have each other’s backs, and they love each other very, very much.

The Quartucci marriage is certainly one that is built to last, and anyone in their lives knows they are lucky enough to be surrounded by such a great couple.

“I love her with my whole heart,” Frank said. “She is my best friend and my soulmate. I am so lucky to be able to celebrate this special day with her and all our loved ones. I am not only looking forward to this day, but I am looking forward to spending the rest of my life with my best friend.”

To the Quartuccis!
