Vicki and Steve began dating in spring 2016 after meeting at a Boys & Girls Club charity event in Anaheim three years ago. Since then, they have marked off all sorts of milestones, including meeting each other's families, going on vacations, and sharing their romance with the world on RHOC, which, of course, included some drama.

Vicki has been married twice before and has two children, Briana Culberson and Michael Wolfsmith. And, by the way, he definitely has their seal of approval.

And despite some ups and downs in her romantic past, it's been clear to Vicki that making it official with Steve has always been in the cards as she previously told The Daily Dish.

"Well, I definitely want to get married again... I want to be 100 percent, 100 percent, 100 percent sure. I do not want to go through another heartache or divorce. So lord knows I've gone through two relationships on camera, been married twice before, so I really don't want to jump into it," Vicki told The Daily Dish in September 2-17. "I want to be sure. I'm looking at every red flag, and making sure that everything is right for me because I don't want to fall out of love. I don't want to have another heartache again. But so far, all the signs are he's a keeper."
