<\/p>\nJennifer Pedranti and her boyfriend, Ryan Boyajian, are engaged after nearly four years of dating.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Following a cast trip to London with the ladies of The Real Housewives of Orange County, Jennifer, 46, flew to one of her and Ryan\u2019s \u201cfavorite spots,\u201d the Baha Mar resort in the Bahamas, where Ryan surprised her with a proposal during a walk on the beach last Thursday.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re both super stoked and couldn\u2019t be happier,\u201d Jennifer told PEOPLE on April 15. \u201cWe always say that our love is a gift, and this just feels like the icing on the cake.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is a magical time for us,\u201d she added. \u201cI really am the luckiest girl in the world.\u201d<\/p>\n
Looking back at his decision to propose to Jennifer at the Baha Mar resort, Ryan said that he chose the location because it was somewhere they often vacation as a family.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was important for me to do it in a spot that means something to us,\u201d Ryan explained. \u201cNow we\u2019ll always be able to go right there in the little perch of sand by the staircase and remember this milestone together.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt feels so special that this happened while we were in our happy place,\u201d Jennifer agreed.<\/p>\n
While Jennifer and Ryan had discussed tying the knot before, Jennifer confirmed she was \u201cshocked\u201d when her partner got down on one knee.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe pulled me in, and I said to him, \u2018Are you doing something?\u2019 And the second he got down in the sand, I don\u2019t even remember what he said because I was so surprised,\u201d she shared. \u201cIt was absolutely amazing.\u201d<\/p>\n
Before the proposal, Ryan got the blessing of Jennifer\u2019s parents and brothers.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat for me was a super special day because the conversations are something that I\u2019ll never forget with the four of them,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
As for the ring, which boasts over five carats of diamonds, Ryan designed the cushion-cut stunner, which he bought two years ago, with the help of Enalie Jewelers in Mission Viejo, California.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is the second marriage for Ryan and I, so we would talk about, \u2018Oh, maybe if we get married one day, we\u2019ll just do a small tattoo on our left ring finger where only we know what it means,’\u201d Jennifer shared. \u201cAnd then this guy proposes with a ring that just knocks my socks off.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jennifer began dating Ryan in September 2020 after splitting from her first husband, William Pedranti. And while their divorce is still ongoing, that hasn\u2019t stopped her and Ryan from considering their upcoming wedding, which could take place at the same location as their engagement.<\/p>\n
