Before Ruelas could finish proposing, some of the planned pyrotechnics began going off ahead of schedule. Though it intensified the moment, Giudice didn’t hear her boyfriend pop the question at first.
“As he’s [proposing], the sparklers are going off and then the fireworks are going off, so I’m like a little kid, just looking all around,” she explained, according toET.
“He said, ‘So, babe, will you marry me?’ And I said, ‘Yeah!’ It was really magical,” Giudice added. “It was so beautiful. I’ll never forget it. It was like something you always wanted.”
