When Teresa Giudice and her boyfriend of just over a year, Luis Ruelas, embarked on a European getaway with her longtime bestie, Dina Manzo, and Manzo’s husband, Dave Cantin, many Real Housewives of New Jersey fans suspected an engagement was to come.

“I’m so happy for her,” he said. “[Luis] came in like what she needed. She needed that Superman to come in and take her life and fix it, and that’s what he’s doing. I always said she needed a beast of a man, and he is one of them.”

There was also an over-the-top fireworks display.
