It's not just the guys who get to put a ring on it.

Just ask Gretchen Rossi. The Real Housewives of Orange County star proposed to boyfriend Slade Smiley on April 14, surprising him with a black-gold black-diamond engagement band.

Per Life & Style, Slade surprised his bride-to-be with her own ring five days later: a 4-carat yellow diamond surrounded by smaller stones and designed by Danny Arik for Newport Jewelers.

"I've never been so overwhelmed with just sheer joy and happiness!" Rossi tells the mag.

And she has absolutely no regrets about being the one to pop the question. "Life is too short," she said. "I'm in love with this man, and I needed to take the plunge!"

Amen, sister! Congrats.
