Wedding bells are ringing for Jennifer Pedranti and Ryan Boyajian!
The Real Housewives of Orange County cast member, who joined the show on Season 17, just announced her engagement to her boyfriend of more than three-and-a-half years.
RHOC's Jennifer Pedranti Is Engaged to Ryan Boyajian
During a recent trip to the Bahamas, Ryan got down on one knee to propose to the mom of five.
"We're both super stoked and couldn't be happier," Jennifer told PEOPLE about Ryan's special proposal, which took place on April 11 in a location that is near and dear to their hearts. "We always say that our love is a gift, and this just feels like the icing on the cake."
"This is a magical time for us," Jennifer continued. "I really am the luckiest girl in the world."
How Ryan Proposed to Jennifer
Jennifer and Ryan were going for a walk on the beach when he popped the question. The couple and Jennifer's five kids have often vacationed in the Bahamas, so Ryan knew that he wanted to propose in a place that was meaningful to their blended family.
"It feels so special that this happened while we were in our happy place," Jennifer shared, later noting that she was "shocked" when Ryan got down on one knee to propose.
Jennifer Pedranti's Engagement Ring Details: "Just Knocks My Socks Off"
In addition to planning a meaningful proposal, Ryan also put a lot of thought into Jennifer's engagement ring.
Ryan offered the yoga studio owner a cushion-cut diamond sparkler that he had custom-made by Enalie Jewelers in Mission Viejo in California. The main stone is five carats, and it is surrounded by smaller diamonds (that are all sitting on top of a pavé band).
Though Ryan just proposed on April 11, he actually had the ring made more than two years ago, while Jennifer was filming RHOC Season 17. Jennifer wasn't expecting the proposal, and she certainly wasn't expecting the sparkler that Ryan picked out.
"This is the second marriage for Ryan and I, so we would talk about, 'Oh, maybe if we get married one day, we'll just do a small tattoo on our left ring finger where only we know what it means,' " she said to PEOPLE. "And then this guy proposes with a ring that just knocks my socks off."
Is Jennifer Pedranti divorced?
Jennifer and Ryan are getting ready to take the next step, but Jennifer is still legally married to her estranged husband, Will.
As a result, the two are taking things slow when it comes to getting married.
"I don't think Ryan nor myself are looking for some big celebration," Jennifer said, and Ryan agreed.
"If I had my way, it would be same way you saw the proposal picture: It'd be a bikini and board shorts and all of our kids," Ryan added.
